Materials for Old Station Projects

Start with what the finished yard needs to do. Decorative stone and ground cover carry most of the work here, and the base under them decides whether they stay put.

Beds, Borders and Ground Cover

River cobble dresses beds and borders and holds up to snow load. Large river rock builds dry creek beds and swales where runoff needs slowing before it reaches a culvert. Both read as clean landscape stone, not fill.

Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patio ground cover. Lay it over a compacted Class 2 base and it stays smooth through freeze and thaw. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas.

Driveways, Pads and Drains

Class 2 base is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It goes under pavers, slabs, DG paths and every driveway. Recycled base rock does the same job from Road Base or asphalt, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base.

Top a compacted base with driveway gravel for the wear surface. For water, use 3/4 inch drain rock or drain rock in French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors creek banks and culvert outlets against winter storm runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Old Station

The ground here is mostly thin and rocky, over granite, volcanic or metamorphic rock. Granite areas weather coarse and sandy. Some valley and basin floors hold deeper soil. Whatever sits underneath, an under-built base is what fails first.

Plan for that. Excavate to the depth the base needs, then compact Class 2 base in lifts so the material locks together. Thin soil over rock drains fast but shifts, so the compacted layer is what carries the load.

Winter storms bring rain and snow, and melting snow keeps the ground wet into spring. Water runs fast off rock and thin soil on slopes and collects where drives and pads cut across it. Slot a drainage layer or a French drain into the low side of any cut.

Snowmelt and storm runoff on steep slopes and unpaved roads drive erosion here. Arm the steeper cuts with rip rap before the wet season starts. Freeze-thaw is a real design factor too. Freezing nights are routine through winter, and frost depth is set by the local building department, commonly 18 to 24 inches in mountain towns.

Time the work around the season. The working window runs late spring to fall. Snow and frozen or saturated ground stop most base and excavation work in winter. The spring thaw can leave unpaved ground soft, so wait for it to firm up before you compact base.
