Cobble and Bulk Aggregates for Felton, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Felton, CA, and the ground here asks you to plan before you order. Soils change over short distances in the Coast Range, with heavy clay that swells when wet sitting close to sandier ground. That is why Class 2 base depth matters so much on a Felton driveway: clay moves, and a thin base moves with it.

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck delivers to your site.

Materials for Felton Projects

Winter storms drive the material choices here. Hillside runoff, creek bank scour and culvert outlets all need coarse stone that stays put when water hits it. Start with the biggest sizes and work down to the fines.

Coarse stone for slope and bank protection

RipRap is the heavy option for slope armoring, creek banks and culvert outlets where storm runoff concentrates. Caltrans calls placed rock on slopes rock slope protection, and that is exactly the job. Cobble and large river rock suit dry creek beds and swales, slowing runoff instead of letting it cut a channel.

• RipRap for slope, creek bank and culvert outlet armoring.
• Large River Rock for dry creek beds, swales and heavier erosion work.
• River Cobble for decorative beds, borders and low-water landscaping.

Drainage stone

Drainage behind a retaining wall or along a downspout run needs clean stone with no fines, so water moves through instead of sitting. Drain rock and 3/4 inch drain rock both work, and the washed sizes hold up under a drainage layer.

• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and wall backfill.
• 3/4" Drain Rock for drainage trenches and drainage layers.

Base, surfacing and fines

Class 2 base is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base, and it belongs under driveways, parking pads, pavers and slabs. Recycled base rock made from Road Base or asphalt does the same work, and some suppliers here call it crushed miscellaneous base or CMB. Above the base, driveway gravel surfaces a drive and Stone Screenings packs firm for paths and patios.

Ground and Conditions in Felton

Most rain falls from late fall to spring, much of it in a few large winter storms. That water soaks into sandy ground quickly but sits on or runs off clay soils and slopes. On steep hillsides it shows up as runoff and slides, and intense rain on recently burned slopes can move debris.

The dry season from late spring into fall is your window for base, driveway and paver work. Summer fog near the shore is not the problem; winter rain and saturated clay are. If your subgrade is clay, build the base thick enough to bridge the movement, and put a drainage layer where water collects. Send the buyer to the calculator rather than guessing the quantity.
