Cobble and Bulk Aggregates for Orick, CA

What do you order when winter runoff keeps cutting at your slope, swale or creek bank? You order coarse stone, and you order it by the load. California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Orick, CA, from Class 2 base for the compacted layer under a drive or pad to the heavy rock that holds ground in place. Soils here change fast, from sandy shoreline ground to heavy clay that swells when wet, so the material has to match the spot.

Materials for Orick Projects

Erosion work starts with size. Coarse stone goes on slopes, swales and banks where water needs to slow down or move through. Finer material goes underneath drives, paths and pads. Order by what the ground has to do.

• RipRap, also called rock slope protection, is placed rock for slope faces, creek banks and culvert outlets. This is the first line against winter storm runoff.
• Large River Rock, or cobble, suits dry creek beds and swales where you want runoff slowed without an angular look.
• Drain Rock and 3/4" Drain Rock are clean washed stone with no fines, so water passes through. Use them in French drains, drywells and behind retaining walls.
• Railroad Ballast and #4 Crushed Stone handle severe drainage, trench bottoms and hard standing.
• Class 2 Base, or Class II base rock, is the California base material for driveways and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs. Fill Dirt builds the grade before it goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Orick

The working season runs from late spring into fall. That is when base, driveway and paver jobs go in, and it is when you want your delivery. Summer fog near the shore does not stop work, but winter rain and saturated clay do.

Most rain falls from late fall to spring, much of it in a few large storms. Sandy ground takes it in quickly. Clay soils and slopes shed it, which is why hillside runoff and slides show up in winter. On steep ground, plan the drainage stone and the compacted base together, and time the delivery for dry weather so the base compacts the way it should.
