River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in La Jolla, CA

Rain here arrives in a few hard winter storms, then the ground dries out for months. Water sheets off hardscape and clay and has nowhere to go. That is why gravel and aggregate delivery in La Jolla, CA starts with clean washed stone. California Rock Supply stocks the drainage rock, Class 2 base and sand local crews ask for.

Materials for La Jolla Projects

Start with the coarsest stone and work down. Drainage drives most of the orders here.

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling. Use it in French drains, drywells, downspout runs and the drainage layer behind a retaining wall.

3/4" Drain Rock, also sold as #57 stone, does the same work at a smaller washed size. It packs well into drainage trenches and under footing drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone has angular faces that lock together. It suits drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances where you want stability.

Class 2 base is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It goes under driveways, parking pads, pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job when you want Road Base or asphalt instead.

Stone Screenings, or DG, is the fine, firm-packing finish for paths and patios. Lay it over a compacted base, not straight on clay.

Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild beds and planting areas over the native ground.

Ground and Conditions in La Jolla

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, so time a delivery around them when you can. Rain comes fast after a dry spell, and it runs off hard ground and clay instead of soaking in.

That matters two ways. Wetting expansive clay makes it swell under slabs and paving, so drainage has to move water away from the base. And hard dry ground sheds the first storms quickly, which is when runoff does its damage.

Build the drainage layer before the base goes down, then compact the Class 2 base in lifts. Skip the clean stone and water sits against the clay until it finds a way out.
