Bulk Gravel Delivery to Exeter, CA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Exeter, CA online. California Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard and drops it at your site in Tulare County.

Start with Class 2 base. It is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base, and it carries driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Exeter

Exeter sits on the Central Valley floor. The ground is deep valley alluvium, heavy clay in places, with cemented hardpan a few feet down across parts of the valley.

That hardpan stops water moving deeper. Winter storms and atmospheric rivers drop most of the rain from late fall to spring, and on flat clay ground water ponds instead of draining away.

A thin base fails here. Water sits in the subgrade, the clay softens, and pavers and slabs rock and settle. The fix is a thick, well-compacted Class 2 base and a drainage layer that gives water somewhere to go.

Time the work for the dry season. The long, hot stretch from late spring into fall is the main window. Winter rain turns clay soft and sticky, and tule fog can slow an early start.

Materials for Exeter Projects

Patio and flatwork jobs here come down to what goes under the pavers. Class 2 base is the base course, and Class II base rock, Class 2 aggregate base and base rock are the same material under other names. It compacts tight and holds a level plane under slabs, pavers and Stone Screenings paths.

Recycled base rock, made from Road Base or asphalt, does the same job. California allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Some suppliers also call a recycled base CMB, short for crushed miscellaneous base.

Above the base, pick by the surface you want:

• Class 2 Base for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs.
• Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, for leveling and bedding under slabs and pavers.
• Mason Sand for brick and block work and for sweeping into paver joints.
• Stone Screenings, or DG, for paths and patios. It packs firm and fine over a compacted base.
• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and drainage behind retaining walls.

Matching Material to the Job

For a drive surface over the base, use driveway gravel. For paths that need a finer, walkable surface, use walkway gravel. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors creek banks and culvert outlets against winter runoff.
