Start with Class 2 base. It is the standard California base material, and Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. In Glencoe, rocky hillside soils sit shallow over bedrock, so a firm, well-compacted base matters under every patio and drive.

Ground and Conditions in Glencoe

Patio failures in Glencoe usually trace back to a base that was too thin or too wet. Rocky hillside soils here are often shallow over bedrock, with clay in many areas and fast-draining Stone Screenings in others.

Heavy winter rain runs off quickly over shallow soil and bedrock on slopes. Clay pockets hold that water instead. A thin base over clay pumps, shifts, and lets pavers settle out of line.

The fix is a deeper, well-compacted base with drainage that sheds water. Runoff from slopes above needs a path, so it never sits under your slab or paver field.

Runoff down steep slopes, drives, and road cuts drives the erosion here. Intense rain on recently burned slopes can move debris. Armor those spots before winter.

Time your work from late spring into fall. Winter storms turn clay and steep drives to mud, and the higher towns can see snow delays in mid-winter.

Materials for Glencoe Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the job that decides how a patio holds up. Build the layers in order and each one does its part.

Class 2 Base is the compacted layer under pavers, slabs, and Stone Screenings paths. Buyers here also call it Class II base rock, Class 2 aggregate base, or base rock. It is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled Class 2 base, sometimes called CMB, does the same job from Road Base or asphalt.

Above the base, bedding sand levels the pavers. Mason Sand is masonry sand, used for brick and block work, paver joints, and play sand. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, handles leveling and bedding under slabs. Washed Sand blends coarse sand and fine gravel for leveling and bedding.

Stone Screenings, or DG, is the fine, firm-packing path material for patios and low-water ground cover, laid over a compacted base. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

Water still has to leave. 3/4" Drain Rock, also called #57 stone, is clean stone with no fines, so water moves through it. Use it in French drains and drainage layers behind retaining walls.
