Materials for McFarland Projects

Water is the enemy here, not hillsides. Coarse stone slows runoff, armors banks and gives standing water somewhere to go. Match the size to the job, then build down from there.

Coarse stone: protection and drainage

Start big for slope and bank work. RipRap is placed rock for creek banks, swale edges and culvert outlets, the material Caltrans specifies as rock slope protection. Use it where winter runoff hits bare ground.

Step down for heavy drainage and trench bottoms with #4 Crushed Stone. It also works for construction entrances that need to stay firm through a wet spell.

For French drains, drywells and downspout runs, Drain Rock is the clean choice. No fines, so water passes through instead of sitting in the voids.

Mid sizes: drives, beds and bedding

3/4" Drain Rock handles drainage trenches and the layer behind a retaining wall. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the angular version, used for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

Smaller washed sizes have their own jobs. #89 Crushed Stone packs tight bedding and paver joints where a bigger stone will not fit.

Base, fines and finish materials

Every drive, pad and patio starts with Class 2 Base, also called Class 2 aggregate base. It compacts hard under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Recycled base rock or crushed miscellaneous base does the same job when you want to use processed concrete or asphalt.

On top, Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive, and Stone Screenings gives walkways and patios a fine, firm-packing surface.

Rounded stone finishes beds and slows shallow flow. Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and swales, River Cobble borders beds and planting, and Natural Pea Gravel covers play areas and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in McFarland

McFarland sits on deep valley alluvium. Heavy clay in the flood basins cracks in summer, and a cemented hardpan a few feet down stops water moving deeper in places. Rain that falls between late fall and spring has nowhere to go, so it ponds.

That shapes your base depth and your drainage. Build a drainage layer with clean stone and give the water an outlet, or the base stays soft and pumps. On clay, a compacted Class 2 Base over fill dirt holds up far better than thin gravel spread on native ground.

Timing matters as much as material. The long dry season from late spring into fall is the working window. Winter rain turns clay soft and sticky and stops jobs, and dense tule fog can slow an early start.
