Materials for Philo Projects

Drainage is the job that decides how the rest of a Philo project holds up. Winter rain comes in a few large storms, and water that sits on clay finds every weak spot in a drive or a pad. Clean washed stone is what moves that water away. Here is the sizing, coarsest to finest.

For a French drain or a drywell, 3/4 inch drain rock, also sold as #57 stone, is the standard. It is washed, so there are no fines to pack tight and block water. Line the trench, set your pipe, and backfill with clean stone.

Build the drainage layer before you build anything else. A downspout run that ends at a splash block just moves the problem a few feet. A drywell dug into clean stone sends that water down and away from the foundation.

Class 2 base is the California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and slab subgrade. Recycled base rock, also called recycled Class 2 base, does the same job where you want to keep it out of the landfill.

For surfacing an existing drive, use Driveway Gravel. For paths that need a finer walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is the answer. Garden beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch to hold moisture through the long dry season.

Delivery to Philo and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site. That works for a driveway rebuild, a drainage trench, or a full pad.

California Rock Supply covers Philo and the rest of Mendocino County. We also deliver to Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Willits, Redwood Valley and Covelo. Same county, same truck, same process.

Pick a date that matches your crew, not the other way around. If the trench is open and the pipe is set, the stone can go in the day it lands. If the site is still mud, wait. Stone dumped on soft ground has to be moved twice.

Ground and Conditions in Philo

Your working season runs from late spring into fall. That is when base, driveway and paver work goes in. Winter rain and saturated clay are what hold jobs up, not cold.

Soils change over short distances here. Sandy ground near the shoreline drains fast, while the heavy clay in the Coast Range valleys cracks when dry and swells when wet. That clay will not compact well when it is wet, and it will not hold a base when it is soaked.

Plan the drainage first on clay ground. Hillside runoff and slides are real in winter storms, and intense rain on steep slopes moves material fast. Riprap on a slope, a creek bank or a culvert outlet keeps that runoff from cutting the ground out from under your work.

Timing your delivery to the dry window is most of the battle. Order the stone when the ground is workable, and the compaction you get will hold.
