Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Northridge, CA

California Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Northridge, CA to your driveway, patio or planting bed. Order Class 2 base online for a compacted drive or pad. This is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base, and it goes under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Our ground here runs from sandy loam to expansive clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry, so a base built on bare dirt will not hold.

Delivery to Northridge and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick the material you want. Choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, whichever you find easier to picture. The calculator on each product page sizes the load for you, so you do not have to guess at how much a project takes.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings your material to the site. Bulk loads drop where the truck can reach, so think about where you want the pile before the driver arrives. We deliver across Los Angeles County, including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Clarita, Glendale and Lancaster.

Materials for Northridge Projects

Most yards here come down to two looks: green planting with rock, or hardscape with a clean base under it. Decorative stone carries the landscape side, and base material carries the hardscape side. Here is what to order for each project.

For a Driveway or Pad

Start with Class 2 Base, the compacted layer that carries the load. Some suppliers sell it as class ii base, class 2 aggregate base or base rock, and it is the same material. Recycled base made from Road Base or asphalt works the same way, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Top the finished surface with Driveway Gravel or 3/4" Crushed Stone. If you want a binding, compacting mix instead, order Crusher Run.

For Patios, Beds and Dry Creek Beds

Stone Screenings, which locals call DG, packs firm and fine for paths, patios and low-water ground cover over a compacted base. Stone Screenings is the usual choice for that surface.

For dry creek beds and swales, rounded stone slows runoff and reads as a feature rather than a drain. Large River Rock handles the heavy end, and River Cobble fills beds and borders. Natural Pea Gravel suits small beds, walkway edges and play areas, while Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

For Drains and Retaining Walls

Drainage fails on fines, not on stone. Use clean washed rock with no fines so water moves through it. 3/4" Drain Rock and Drain Rock cover french drains, drywells, downspout runs and the backfill behind a retaining wall.

Ground and Conditions in Northridge

Our soils run from sandy loam to clay, with expansive clay in many basins and hills. That clay swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry, which moves anything built directly on it. A base placed on bare ground will pump and crack with the seasons.

Winter rain arrives in a few storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. It runs off hardscape, hard dry ground and clay fast. That runoff is why drainage stone and a properly compacted base matter more here than in wetter parts of the state.

Summer is long, warm and dry, and that suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption to a schedule. Build up low spots with fill dirt or Class 2 base before you pave, and use clean drain rock where water collects.

Order Class 2 Base and Landscape Rock in Northridge

Class 2 base is the material that holds a Northridge driveway, paver patio or DG path in place, and decorative rock is what finishes a bed or a dry creek. Both are ready to order by the ton or yard. Choose your material, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout.
