Materials for Fortuna Projects

Start with soil and fill. Fill dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before Class 2 base goes down. Topsoil and garden soil rebuild beds and lawns over clay or hardpan. Both take a firm, settled subgrade underneath.

Base comes next. Class 2 Base, also called Class II base rock, is the standard California base for driveways, parking pads and the layer under pavers and slabs. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Crusher Run works where you want a binding, compacting material.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Drain Rock has no fines, so water moves through it in French drains and drainage trenches. Drain Rock suits drywells, downspout runs and the back of retaining walls.

Sand and decorative round out the order. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Mason Sand fills paver joints and block work. River Cobble dresses beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Fortuna

Plan around water. Most rain falls from late fall to spring, much of it in a few large winter storms. Sandy ground soaks it up fast. Clay soil and slopes shed it, and that runoff has to go somewhere.

Soils change over short distances here. Sandy dune and beach soils sit along parts of the shoreline. Heavy clay soils that crack when dry and swell when wet are extensive in the Coast Range valleys and hills. That mix decides your base detail, not a single rule for the whole city.

On clay, dig out soft spots and build the base up in lifts you can compact. On sand, the base still needs confinement at the edges so it does not spread. Where runoff crosses a slope, arm it. RipRap, also called rock slope protection, holds creek banks and culvert outlets against winter storm flow.

Time the work to the dry season. Late spring into fall is the main window for base, driveway and paver work. Summer fog near the shore is fine to work in. Winter rain and saturated clay are what hold jobs up.
