Materials for Ojai Projects

Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock or Class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California base material for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers, slabs and DG paths. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. It compacts hard and locks together, which is why it carries a drive rather than sinking into it.

From there, the choice depends on what the surface has to do.

Class 2 base is also made as recycled base rock from Road Base and asphalt, used the same way under drives, patios and slabs. Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base, so it is a real option for a subgrade. Some suppliers here call a similar material crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB.

For water, reach for clean washed stone. Drain Rock has no fines, so water moves through it, and it suits French drains, drywells, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls. Where a path needs a finer, walkable surface, Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm and stays put.

Sand and soil round out a job. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints, while Top Soil builds up lawn and bed areas over clay or hardpan. Decorative work leans on river cobble, large river rock, Natural Pea Gravel and shredded mulch.

Ground and Conditions in Ojai

Rain here arrives in a few winter storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. That water runs off hardscape, hard dry ground and clay fast, so drainage is the first thing to plan, not the last.

The bigger issue is expansive clay. It swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry, and that movement works on anything sitting above it. Wetting clay under a slab or a paved drive is how you get heaving and cracking.

Two practical moves follow. Build the pad up with fill dirt first, then compact Class 2 base over it so the load spreads across the clay instead of pressing into one spot. Second, give water somewhere to go: a drain rock layer, a French drain along the edge, or a drywell at the low corner.

Winter storms also move debris off burned hillsides and canyons, and hillside runoff drives slope failures. On slopes and creek banks, rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors the ground against that runoff.

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption to grading and compaction.
