Bulk Gravel Delivery to Colfax, CA

Timing matters for gravel and aggregate delivery in Colfax, CA. Work runs best from late spring into fall, before winter storms turn clay and steep drives to mud. California Rock Supply stocks Class 2 base, the standard California base material, plus the sand and stone that go above it.

Most patio and flatwork jobs here start with a compacted base and a bedding layer. Order ahead of your pour date so the material is on site when your crew is ready.

Ground and Conditions in Colfax

A thin base shows itself fast on flatwork. The pavers rock, joints open, and low corners hold water after a storm. The cause is usually shallow depth over rocky hillside soil and clay pockets that trap water.

Colfax sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where soil is often shallow over bedrock. Some areas drain quickly through Stone Screenings, and others hold water in clay. A pad has to shed water in both cases.

Runoff from slopes above needs a path around the pad, not through it. Winter rain comes hard and runs off fast, and road cuts and steep drives send water downhill. Build the base thick enough to bridge soft spots, then compact it in lifts.

Materials for Colfax Projects

For pavers and flatwork, the bedding layer decides how the surface sits. Build the pad on compacted Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, then bed the units in the right sand or fines. Class 2 base is specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base, and it is the base material California crews ask for by name.

Class 2 Base carries driveways, parking pads, and the compacted base under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Recycled base rock, made from Road Base or asphalt, does the same job, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base.

Mason Sand is the bedding sand for brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, levels and beds under slabs. Both give you a firm, even surface to set units on.

Stone Screenings, or DG, is a fine, firm-packing material for paths, patios and low-water ground cover over a compacted base. 3/8" Crushed Stone tops a compacted base and beds pipe, and 3/4" Drain Rock handles French drains and drainage layers behind a wall.
