Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Lemon Grove, CA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Lemon Grove, CA online, by the ton or the yard. California Rock Supply drops bulk material at your driveway, pad or lot. Start with Class 2 base, the standard California base material. It goes under drives, parking pads, pavers and slabs.

Lemon Grove sits on alluvial ground that runs from sandy loam to clay, and the clay swells when winter rain soaks it. That drives how deep you build your base. Pick your material, size the load, and let us handle the haul.

Materials for Lemon Grove Projects

Driveway and base work leads here. Class 2 base is what most Lemon Grove contractors order first. It compacts hard and carries a load. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base.

• Class 2 Base: driveways, parking pads, and the compacted base under pavers, slabs and DG paths.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted Class 2 base.
• Crusher Run: base and drives where a binding material is wanted. Local buyers usually ask for Class 2 base for the same job.
• Stone Screenings: paths, patios and low-water ground cover, laid over a compacted base.
• Drain Rock: French drains, drywells, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.

Recycled Class 2 base, made from Road Base or asphalt, works the same way under drives and slabs. Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Some suppliers here call it crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB.

Sand and soil round out most jobs. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs. Mason sand fills paver joints and brick work. Topsoil builds up planting beds over tight clay, and shredded mulch holds moisture through the long dry season.

Ground and Conditions in Lemon Grove

Rain arrives in a few winter storms after a long dry season. It runs off hardscape and dry clay fast. That runoff needs somewhere to go before it pools against a foundation or under a slab.

Expansive clay is the real issue. It swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. Under a driveway or patio, that movement telegraphs straight up through the surface. Build the base thick enough and compact it in lifts, and the paving has a stable platform.

Drain rock and 3/4 inch drain rock handle the water. Both are washed clean with no fines, so water moves through instead of sitting. Use them in French drains, drywells and drainage layers behind retaining walls.

The warm, dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption. On slopes and creek banks, rip rap armors against storm runoff. Caltrans calls placed rock on slopes rock slope protection.
