Landscaping Material Delivered in Mentone, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mentone, CA, starting with Class 2 base. That is the local name for the compacted base under driveways, parking pads, pavers and slabs, and Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Mentone sits on alluvial ground in San Bernardino County, where soils run from sandy loam to expansive clay.

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site. The warm, dry season here suits base and paver work through most of the year.

Delivery to Mentone and the Surrounding Area

Ordering works the same for every load. You choose the material, set the quantity by the ton or yard, and select a delivery date at checkout. If you are unsure how much you need, the calculator sizes the load for you.

A dump truck then delivers to your site. Drivers need a clear path and a spot where the bed can raise and empty. For a driveway pour or a landscape bed, tell us where the pile should land so you are not moving material twice.

California Rock Supply delivers throughout San Bernardino County, including San Bernardino, Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Victorville.

Materials for Mentone Projects

Mentone yards lean toward landscape work: decorative rock, planting beds, dry creek beds and ground cover. The right material depends on what the surface has to do.

For paths, patios and low-water ground cover, Stone Screenings, also called DG, packs firm over a compacted base. It is the standard fine path material in Southern California. Stone Screenings covers beds and walkable surfaces in one layer.

Dry creek beds and swales call for rounded stone that slows runoff. River Cobble fills decorative beds and borders, while Large River Rock handles heavier erosion work where water moves fast. Both read as clean landscape stone rather than construction aggregate.

Underneath any of it, the base still has to be right. Class 2 Base is what you compact under pavers, slabs and DG paths. Recycled base rock made from Road Base or asphalt does the same job, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base.

Everyday driveway work is simpler: Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Mentone

Local soils run from sandy loam to expansive clay. The clay is the part that matters. It swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry, so an under-built base moves under slabs and paving.

That makes compaction the whole job. Class 2 base placed in lifts and compacted gives the paving above it something stable to sit on. Skip that step over expansive clay and the surface follows the soil.

Rain arrives in a few winter storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. Water runs off hardscape, hard dry ground and clay fast. Drain rock in a trench or behind a wall gives it somewhere to go, and 3/4 inch drain rock is clean stone with no fines so water moves through it.

Winter is also when burned hillsides and canyons above the valley shed debris flows in the first heavy storms. Rip rap, which Caltrans calls rock slope protection, armors slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets against that runoff.

Timing is easy for most of the year. The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work, and winter storm days are the main interruption.
