Buy 3/4 Inch Crushed Rock in Placerville, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Placerville, CA. Work here runs best from late spring into fall, because winter storms turn clay and steep drives to mud. Class 2 base is the material most local drives start with, and it is what you want down before any surface stone goes on top.

Plan your order around that window. Order online, pick a delivery date at checkout, and the load arrives when the ground is workable.

Materials for Placerville Projects

Base and driveway work leads everything here. Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It goes under driveways, parking pads, and the compacted layer beneath pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths.

Recycled base rock is the same idea made from Road Base or asphalt, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Some suppliers nearby also call this crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB, for drive and pad subgrade.

For drainage, 3/4 inch drain rock, also sold as #57 stone, is clean stone with no fines, so water moves through it. Use it in French drains, drainage trenches and drainage layers. Drain rock does the same job in drywells, downspout runs, and behind retaining walls.

Stone Screenings, or DG, is the fine, firm-packing path material for walkways and patios. If you want a finer, walkable surface on a garden path, walkway gravel is the easier choice.

Ground and Conditions in Placerville

Water drives everything in this ground. Heavy winter rain runs off quickly over shallow soil and bedrock on slopes, while clay pockets hold water. That means drives and pads have to shed water, and runoff from slopes above needs a path.

Rocky hillside soils here are often shallow over bedrock, with clay in many areas and fast-draining Stone Screenings in others. A drive cut into a slope meets all three in one run, so the base has to handle uneven subgrade without pumping.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Runoff down steep slopes, drives and road cuts in heavy winter rain moves loose material, and intense rain on recently burned slopes can send debris flows. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armor slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets against that runoff. Cobble and large river rock slow water in dry creek beds and swales.

Timing matters as much as material. Build in the dry months, then make sure every surface drains before the first storms arrive.
