Buy 3/4 Inch Crushed Rock in Modesto, CA

California Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Modesto, CA, and the material most local drives are built on is Class 2 base. It is the Caltrans-specified base for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs. We also carry the crushed rock, sand, soil and decorative stone that finishes those same jobs.

You are buying on flat valley ground, so how water leaves the site shapes what you order. We stock the base, stone and drainage rock that handles it.

Materials for Modesto Projects

Start with the base, then pick the surface. A driveway here usually means compacted Class 2 base topped with a coarser stone, and each layer comes from a different product page.

• Class 2 Base, also called class ii base or class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California base for drives, parking pads and subgrade under pavers and slabs. Recycled Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt does the same job, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base.
• Crusher Run is the alternative when you want a binding, compacting material. Most Modesto buyers still ask for Class 2 base for the same work.
• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drive surfacing, drainage beds and construction entrances.
• Stone Screenings, or DG, is the fine, firm-packing material for paths and patios laid over a compacted base.

Around those, we stock Washed Sand for leveling and bedding under slabs, Mason Sand for block work and paver joints, Drain Rock for French drains and downspout runs, and RipRap for bank and culvert armoring. On the planting side, Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild beds over clay, and River Cobble and Natural Pea Gravel cover the decorative work.

Ground and Conditions in Modesto

Most of the rain here arrives from late fall to spring in winter storms and atmospheric rivers. On flat clay and hardpan ground, that water has nowhere to go, so it ponds. That is the single biggest reason driveways and pads fail in Stanislaus County.

Two things fix it. Build the base thick enough and compact it in lifts, and put a drainage layer where water actually collects. Clean stone like 3/4" Drain Rock has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting on top.

The soil below is deep valley alluvium. Heavy clay in the flood basins and along the valley edges cracks in summer, and a cemented hardpan a few feet down stops water moving deeper across parts of the valley. Where hardpan is close, plan on drainage you install rather than drainage that soaks away.

Your working window is the long, hot, dry season from late spring into fall. Winter rain leaves clay soft and sticky, and that is what stops jobs. Dense tule fog can slow early starts.

Delivery to Modesto and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you want it. Have the drop spot clear, firm and reachable, with nothing overhead that the raised bed will hit. A full load is heavy, so pick a spot that can take the weight without rutting.

Order online and size the load by the ton or the cubic yard. Measure your length, width and depth first, then figure the base and the surface separately, since they are different materials at different depths. If you are unsure, order the base, compact it, and measure again before you buy the top layer.

We deliver across Modesto and Stanislaus County, including Turlock, Ceres, Riverbank, Patterson and Oakdale. Contractors running several sites can schedule loads as each phase is ready.
