Fill Dirt Delivery for Malibu, CA

Winter storms dump rain fast on Malibu, and it runs off hard dry ground and clay instead of soaking in. California Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Malibu, CA, starting with the Class 2 base and fill that hold a pad together. Get the grade and the drainage right first.

Materials for Malibu Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the job here. Fill and sub-base go down before anything else, and they decide whether the finished work stays flat. Order by project type.

Building pads and raised grade

Start with Fill Dirt to build up a low pad or backfill against a foundation. Compact it in lifts, 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. It locks up hard under a plate compactor and carries the load.

Driveways and parking pads

Build the drive on compacted Class 2 base, then surface it with Driveway Gravel. Add Crusher Run when you want a binding material that packs tight.

Drainage and slope work

Water is the real problem on these lots. Use Drain Rock in French drains and behind retaining walls, and RipRap where runoff hits a slope or culvert outlet. Caltrans calls placed slope rock rock slope protection.

Patios, paths and beds

Lay Stone Screenings over a compacted base for paths and patios. Use Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and play areas, and River Cobble for dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Malibu

Soils here run from sandy loam to clay, and the clay is expansive. It swells when it gets wet and shrinks and cracks when it dries. An under-built base does not survive that movement.

Excavate deep enough, compact in lifts, and cap the fill with Class 2 base before pavers or a slab go on. Watering expansive clay makes it swell under paving, so drain it away instead.

Rain arrives in a few winter storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. It sheets off hardscape and dry clay fast. That is why drain rock and slope armor earn their place on these sites.

Burned hillsides and canyons bring debris flows when the first heavy storms hit, and bluffs take wave erosion along the shoreline. Size drainage and armoring for that, not for average rain.

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, so plan the grade work around them.

Delivery to Malibu and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material and quantity. Bulk aggregate sells by the ton or the cubic yard, so measure your area and depth first. A short driveway pad and a full building pad take very different loads.

We deliver bulk loads across Malibu and Los Angeles County, including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Clarita, Glendale and Lancaster. Tell us where the truck can reach and where to dump.

Sloped lots and tight canyon driveways need a plan before the truck arrives. Note the drop point and any gate or overhead clearance so the load lands where you want it.
