Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Orange, CA

Winter rain hits Orange hard and fast. It sheets off hardscape, rolls off dry ground, and pools where expansive clay has shrunk and cracked. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Orange, CA starts with stone that moves that water away. California Rock Supply stocks Class 2 base, washed drain rock and the sand and soil that go with them, delivered in bulk.

Materials for Orange Projects

Drainage drives most of the work here. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean washed stone with no fines, so water passes through instead of sitting in the trench. Start coarse and work down.

Coarse drainage stone

RipRap, also called rock slope protection, armors slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets against winter storm runoff. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where the load is heavy.

#4 Crushed Stone suits heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, downspout runs and the drainage layer behind a retaining wall.

Washed stone for trenches and beds

3/4" Drain Rock is the standard clean stone for drainage trenches and drainage layers. 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

#67 Stone runs slightly smaller for drainage and concrete work. 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base. #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone fill paver joints and tight bedding.

Base, surfacing and fines

Under all of it sits Class 2 Base, the standard California base material specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It carries driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers, slabs and DG paths. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job from Road Base or asphalt.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted Class 2 base. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface. Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patios laid over a compacted base.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand for brick, block and paver joints. Washed Sand for leveling and bedding under slabs. Top Soil for lawns and beds, and Fill Dirt for raising grade before base goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Orange

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, so time a delivery around them when you can.

Soils here run from sandy loam to clay, and expansive clay in many basins swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. That movement works under slabs and paving. Compact Class 2 base in lifts, and put clean washed stone where water needs to leave.

Erosion follows the same pattern. The first heavy storms after a dry season send debris flows off burned hillsides and canyons, and hillside runoff causes slope failures. RipRap on slopes and culvert outlets, and cobble in dry creek beds and swales, slow that runoff before it cuts.
