Fill and Base Material Delivered in Greenwood, CA

Winter rain moves fast here. It sheets off shallow soil and bedrock on the slopes, and it pools in the clay pockets. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Greenwood, CA has to answer that first. California Rock Supply supplies Class 2 base, fill dirt and clean drainage stone to Greenwood and El Dorado County, ordered online and dumped at your site.

Delivery to Greenwood and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. Not sure how much you need? Use the calculator to size the load, then choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings it to your site.

We deliver across Greenwood and El Dorado County, including Placerville, Diamond Springs, Pollock Pines, El Dorado Hills and South Lake Tahoe. Greenwood sits in El Dorado County, so the same trucks cover the county run.

Tell us where to drop. On a hillside lot, the truck needs a firm, reachable spot for the pile. Put it where you want the material worked from, not where it will block the drive.

Materials for Greenwood Projects

Most jobs here start with grade. You raise a pad to get it out of the runoff and above the clay, then you build the base on top. Fill dirt does the raising. Class 2 base does the carrying.

Fill dirt builds up pads, backfills and low spots before anything else goes down. Spread it, compact it in lifts, then cap it with your base. Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, is the standard California base for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt does the same work.

For a driveway, order fill to shape the grade, Class 2 base to compact, and driveway gravel to surface it. For a patio, Class 2 base under the pavers and mason sand in the joints. For a drain, clean stone with no fines: 3/4" Drain Rock for trenches and RipRap for creek banks and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Greenwood

Soils here are rocky hillside ground, often shallow over bedrock. Some areas hold clay. Others drain fast through Stone Screenings. An under-built base fails fast on either one.

On clay, water sits in the subgrade and pumps when you compact. On shallow ground, a thin base has nothing to lock into. Raise the grade with fill, compact it in lifts, then build Class 2 base on top.

Runoff needs a path. Heavy winter rain sheds off slopes and road cuts, and bare or burned ground moves with it. Put a drainage layer or a swale where the water wants to go, and armor the steep drops.

Time the work around the season. Late spring into fall is best. Winter storms turn clay and steep drives to mud, and the higher towns can see snow delays.
