Materials Delivered in Glenn County
Class 2 base carries the load here. It is also called Class II base, Class 2 aggregate base or base rock, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 26 specifies California aggregate base as Class 2 or Class 3, in a 3/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch maximum grading. Class 2 is the higher-strength grade and the common base under drives and pads. Class 3 is lower strength. Buyers order Class 2 Base for compaction and strength.
Recycled base rock, also called recycled Class 2 base, is Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt. Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base, which is why it is widely sold. Crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB, is a recycled base rock name some California suppliers use for the same drive and pad subgrade. Order Crusher Run when you want a compacting, binding material.

Ground Conditions Across Glenn County
Glenn County spans two ground zones, and water behaves differently in each. On the Central Valley floor around Orland, Willows, Butte City and Glenn, most rain comes from late fall to spring in winter storms and atmospheric rivers. The ground is deep valley alluvium with heavy clay that cracks in summer, and a cemented hardpan a few feet down across parts of the valley stops water moving deeper.
On flat clay and hardpan, water has nowhere to go and ponds, so drainage has to be built in. That means a clean drain rock layer, not a material with fines. Along the valley edges, the clay cracks in summer and lets water straight down.
In the Coast and Coast Ranges at Elk Creek, soils change over short distances. Heavy clay soils that crack when dry and swell when wet are extensive in the Coast Range valleys and hills, while sandy ground soaks rain up quickly. Most rain still falls from late fall to spring in a few large winter storms. On slopes, hillside runoff and slides are the winter risk, so plan slope protection and keep the working window in the dry season.
Choosing the Right Material
The right base shifts as you move between counties. Butte County and Tehama County both span the Central Valley floor plus the Sierra Nevada foothills and the hills around the northern Sacramento Valley, and both reach into the mountains. On the valley floor the ground is similar to Glenn County, so Class 2 base and drainage choices stay close to what you would order here. In the foothills and mountains, slopes and rock change what you need, and slope protection matters more.
Colusa County spans the Central Valley floor and the Coast and Coast Ranges, much like Glenn County. Where the valley clay and hardpan match, use the same Class 2 base and drain rock approach. In the Coast and Coast Ranges ground, clay that swells when wet drives the drainage layer.
Match the material to the job. Class 2 base for drives, pads and under pavers or slabs. Drain rock for water. Stone Screenings for paths and patios. Topsoil for beds.
