Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Occidental, CA

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Occidental, CA, California Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it to your site. Class 2 base is the standard base material here, used under driveways, parking pads, and the compacted layer beneath pavers, slabs, and Stone Screenings paths.

Soils in this part of Sonoma County change over short distances. Heavy clay that cracks when dry and swells when wet is common in the Coast Range valleys and hills, and it decides how much base your project needs.

Delivery to Occidental and the Surrounding Area

Ordering online keeps the process simple. You pick the material, choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and use the calculator to size the load for your project. Then you select a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck brings the material to your site and places it where you direct. Occidental sits in Sonoma County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Windsor, and Healdsburg.

Plan your quantity before you order. Too little material means a second delivery, and too much leaves you with a pile to move. The calculator is there to help you land on the right number for a drive, a pad, or a bed.

Materials for Occidental Projects

Decorative rock, garden beds, dry creek beds, and ground cover drive most orders here. The materials below cover those jobs and the base work under them. Every one of them is available for bulk delivery.

Beds and ground cover

River Cobble works in decorative beds, borders, and dry creek beds. Large River Rock suits heavier dry creek beds, swales, and erosion work where runoff needs slowing. Both are rounded stone, so they sit well in planting areas and read as a finished surface.

Shredded Mulch is the choice for beds and tree rings. It holds moisture through the long dry season, which matters on clay ground that dries hard in summer.

Paths and patios

Stone Screenings, often called DG, is a fine, firm-packing material for paths, patios, and low-water landscape ground cover. It goes over a compacted base, so it stays firm underfoot. Walkway Gravel is another option for paths that need a finer, walkable surface.

Base and driveways

Class 2 base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is what you compact under pavers, slabs, and DG paths. It is specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock made from Road Base or asphalt does the same job.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted Class 2 base. Drain Rock and 3/4" Drain Rock are clean stone with no fines, so water moves through them.

Ground and Conditions in Occidental

Start with the soil, because it decides how the base behaves. Clay soils that swell when wet and crack when dry are extensive in the Coast Range valleys and hills. An under-built base over clay moves, and the surface above it follows.

Most rain arrives from late fall to spring, often in a few large winter storms. On clay and on slopes, that water sits on the surface or runs off instead of soaking in. That is why drainage stone and a properly compacted base matter on any drive or pad.

Hillside runoff and slides on steep slopes are the winter concern, along with creek bank erosion. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors slopes and culvert outlets against storm runoff.

The dry season from late spring into fall is the main window for base, driveway, and paver work. Winter rain and saturated clay are what hold jobs up.

Questions About Ordering in Occidental

How much material will my project need?

Quantity depends on the area you are covering and the depth you need. Clay ground often calls for more base than sandy ground because the base has to bridge soft spots. Enter your measurements in the calculator on the product page, and it returns the amount to order by the ton or yard.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Occidental?

Yes. Every bulk material, from Class 2 base to river cobble and shredded mulch, is ordered by the ton or by the yard. Choose your quantity at checkout, pick a delivery date, and a dump truck brings the load to your site in Occidental or the surrounding Sonoma County area.
