Materials for Ladera Ranch Projects

Most jobs here start with grade. Fill dirt raises a low corner or builds up a pad before anything hard goes on top. Get the pad built and compacted, then cap it with Class 2 base.

Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, is the standard California base material. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Use it under driveways, parking pads, pavers and slabs. Recycled base rock, made from Road Base or asphalt, does the same work.

For a driveway, top a compacted Class 2 base with driveway gravel. For a patio or garden path, Stone Screenings, also called DG, packs firm over a compacted base. For a drain, use 3/4 inch drain rock or drain rock behind a retaining wall. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors slopes and culvert outlets against storm runoff.

Sand and soil round out the order. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand fills paver joints, and topsoil rebuilds beds over clay or hardpan. Shredded mulch holds moisture through the long dry season.

Ground and Conditions in Ladera Ranch

Soils here run from sandy loam to clay, and much of the ground is expansive clay. It swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. That movement works on anything built over it.

An under-built base fails first. Water reaches the clay, the clay moves, and the slab or paving above it cracks. Build the base thick and compact it in lifts, and run drainage so storm water leaves the pad instead of sitting under it.

The dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption. Schedule grade and compaction work ahead of the rain, and get drainage in before the first heavy storms.
