Most rain here falls in a few large winter storms, and it sits on clay soils instead of soaking in.

Materials for Clearlake Projects

Drainage is the job that decides how a drive, pad or patio holds up here. Order washed stone with no fines for anything that has to move water, then cap it with a base or a finer surface. Here is how the sizes stack up, coarsest to finest.

Start a drainage run with drain rock wrapped in filter fabric, then bring the trench up with 3/8" Crushed Stone where you want a tighter surface. A drywell is the same idea in a pit: clean washed stone, no fines, so water leaves the downspout and goes into the ground instead of along the foundation.

Under all of it, Class 2 Base is the California standard, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt does the same work. Above the base, Stone Screenings packs firm for paths, and driveway gravel tops an existing drive.

Ground and Conditions in Clearlake

Soils change over short distances in the Coast Ranges. Heavy clay that cracks when dry and swells when wet is common in the valleys and hills, and it does not drain. Water sits on top of it or runs off in sheets.

That shapes what you order. A driveway on clay wants a thicker compacted Class 2 base so the surface stays put, and a drainage layer under it so trapped water has somewhere to go. Where ground is sandy, water moves through fast and you can build lighter.

Time your delivery to the dry season from late spring into fall. That is the main window for base, driveway and paver work, and it is winter rain and saturated clay that hold jobs up.

Delivery to Clearlake and the Surrounding Area

California Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Clearlake and the rest of Lake County, including Hidden Valley Lake, Lakeport, Kelseyville, Lucerne and Nice. Order online, pick your material, and tell us the site.

Quantity is sold by the ton or by the cubic yard. A ton of washed stone covers less area than a ton of sand, so the depth you need sets the number. Measure your trench length, width and depth before you order, and add a little for settling.

Bulk delivery arrives on a dump truck and is placed where the driver can reach it. Clear the approach and think about where you want the pile, because moving stone twice costs you a day.
