Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Martinez, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Martinez, CA, and most jobs here start the same way: size the load before you pick the material. Run your pad, drive or trench dimensions through the calculator and it returns the quantity in tons or yards. Then you choose your date at checkout. Class 2 base is the California standard for anything compacted, and it is where most Martinez orders begin.

Delivery to Martinez

Ordering online keeps it simple. You enter the delivery address, choose the material, and set the quantity by the ton or the yard. The calculator is there if you want to work from measurements instead of guessing.

Pick your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the load to your site. You place it where the truck can reach and dump safely, so think about access before the truck arrives. Bulk material needs a clear path and room to spread.

We deliver across Martinez and the rest of Contra Costa County, including Concord, Richmond, Antioch, San Ramon and Pittsburg. If your job sits on a tight street or a steep drive, sort out the drop spot first.

Materials for Martinez Projects

A lot of work around Martinez starts below finished grade. Raising a pad, filling a low corner, or building up a subgrade is the first step, and the material you put down there decides how the rest of the job holds. Get the fill and the base right and the surface on top stays put.

Sort your order by the project in front of you.

Raising grade and building pads

Start with Fill Dirt to build up the pad and backfill. Once the grade is where you want it, cap it with Class 2 Base, the Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base California specs for compacted sub-base. Recycled base rock, also called recycled class 2 base, does the same job under drives, patios and slabs.

Driveways and parking pads

Class 2 base goes down first and gets compacted. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. If you want a material that binds as it compacts, Crusher Run works, though Martinez buyers usually ask for Class 2 base for the same job.

Patios, paths and drainage

For a patio or a garden path, Stone Screenings packs firm and fine over a compacted base. For water, Drain Rock is clean stone with no fines, so it moves water instead of holding it. Use it in French drains, drywells and behind retaining walls.

Walkways that need a finer, walkable surface take Walkway Gravel. Slopes and creek banks that see winter runoff are usually armored with RipRap.

Ground and Conditions in Martinez

Soils here change over short distances. Sandy dune and beach soils sit along parts of the shoreline, while heavy clay is extensive through the Coast Range valleys and hills. That clay cracks when dry and swells when wet, and it will not carry a load on its own.

That is why an under-built base fails. On clay, the subgrade moves under the load and the surface above it follows. Compact the fill in lifts, then bring in Class 2 base and compact that too.

Most rain lands between late fall and spring, often in a few large winter storms. It soaks into sandy ground fast but sits on clay and runs off slopes. Plan your base, driveway and paver work for the dry season from late spring into fall.

Winter also drives the erosion work. Hillside runoff and slides on steep slopes, debris flows where intense rain hits recently burned ground, and wave erosion along the shoreline all show up in the same season. RipRap on slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets is the usual answer.
