Materials for Lakeside Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the first job on most lots here. Fill dirt goes down first to build up the pad, then a compacted base carries the load above it. Get that order right and the driveway, patio or slab on top stays flat.

For a driveway, order fill dirt to shape the grade, Class 2 base to compact over it, and driveway gravel as the wearing surface. Caltrans specifies this material as Class 2 aggregate base, and local crews also call it Class II base rock or base rock.

For a patio or paver walkway, Class 2 base is still the base course. Top it with Stone Screenings for a firm path or patio surface, or set pavers over bedding sand.

For drainage, use clean stone with no fines so water moves through it. Drain rock and 3/4 inch drain rock handle French drains and downspout runs. Where a slope or creek bank takes winter runoff, rip rap armors it.

Ground and Conditions in Lakeside

Soils across this part of San Diego County run from sandy loam to clay, with expansive clay in many basins and hills. That clay swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry, which moves anything built on an under-built base.

Rain arrives in a few winter storms after a long dry season. It runs off hard ground and clay fast, and wetting that clay pushes it up under slabs and paving. That is why the base depth and compaction matter more than the surface material you see.

Build the fill in lifts and compact each one before the next goes down. Then place Class 2 base at the right depth and compact it before pavers, slabs or Stone Screenings go on top. The long, warm, dry season suits this work for most of the year, and winter storm days are the main interruption.
