Cobble, Stone and Soil Delivery in Clovis, CA

Start with the calculator. Enter your dimensions, get your quantity by the ton or yard, then order gravel and aggregate delivery in Clovis, CA from California Rock Supply. Most jobs around here begin with Class 2 base under a drive, a pad or a slab. From there you pick the stone that handles water, because the ground on the valley floor does not drain on its own.

Order online, choose your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck drops the load where you need it.

Materials for Clovis Projects

Water is the job here. Flat ground and heavy clay send runoff sideways instead of down, so the coarse end of the stone list does the real work. Riprap, also called rock slope protection, armors creek banks, slope faces and culvert outlets against winter storm flows. At a smaller size, drain rock and 3/4 inch drain rock carry clean water with no fines to clog the voids.

Behind a retaining wall or along a downspout run, that clean stone gives water somewhere to go before it backs up against the wall.

Working from coarsest to finest, here is how the sizes sort out for a Clovis project.

Class 2 base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California base material and is specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job when you want a recycled option. Above the base, driveway gravel surfaces the drive and Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patios.

For decorative beds and dry creek beds, river cobble and large river rock slow runoff and hold a border. Topsoil and shredded mulch finish the planting side.

Delivery to Clovis and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your delivery date at checkout. Choose your quantity by the ton or yard, and the calculator sizes the load before you commit. Then a dump truck arrives at your site and drops the material.

Give the driver a clear path and a firm spot to dump. Soft ground after a storm is the usual spot where a truck cannot set up.

California Rock Supply delivers across Clovis and Fresno County, including Fresno, Sanger, Reedley, Selma and Coalinga. The material lands on your site, whether that is a driveway, a pad or a bank that needs stone.

Ground and Conditions in Clovis

Time your delivery around the working season. The long, hot, dry stretch from late spring into fall is when most work gets done. Winter storms and atmospheric rivers put the rain here between late fall and spring, and clay turns soft and sticky enough to stop a job. Dense tule fog can slow an early start.

The ground itself is deep valley alluvium. Heavy clay cracks in summer in the flood basins and along the valley edges, and a cemented hardpan a few feet down stops water moving deeper. On flat ground, that water ponds.

Build drainage in rather than hoping for it. A clean stone layer under a base, or a trench that leads water away, is what keeps a drive or a pad from pumping and rutting after a wet winter. Compact the Class 2 base in lifts so it locks up, and keep fines out of the drainage stone.
