Buy 3/4 Inch Crushed Rock in Portola Valley, CA

Plan gravel and aggregate delivery in Portola Valley, CA around the dry season. Late spring into fall is the main window for base, driveway and paver work here. California Rock Supply stocks Class 2 base and the stone, sand and soil that go with it.

Winter rain and saturated clay are what hold jobs up, not cold. Ordering ahead of the wet months keeps a driveway project moving.

Materials for Portola Valley Projects

Class 2 base is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It goes under driveways, parking pads, pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Order it as Class 2 Base.

Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job from Road Base or asphalt. Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. If you want a binding material that compacts hard, Crusher Run is the other way to go.

Once the base is compacted, a surfacing layer finishes the drive. Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or a fresh Class 2 base. For paths, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface, and Stone Screenings packs firm for paths and patios.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Drain Rock has no fines, so water moves through it in French drains and drainage trenches. Drain Rock covers drywells, downspout runs and the drainage behind retaining walls.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Mason Sand is for brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Top Soil rebuilds lawns and beds, and Garden Soil fills raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Portola Valley

Most rain here falls from late fall to spring, much of it in a few large winter storms and atmospheric rivers. Water soaks into sandy ground quickly. On clay soils and slopes it sits on top or runs off.

Soils change over short distances in the Coast Range. Heavy clay that cracks when dry and swells when wet is extensive in the valleys and hills. That swelling is why a driveway base has to be compacted in lifts and why drainage matters as much as thickness.

Hillside runoff and slides on steep slopes are the winter risk, along with debris flows when intense rain hits recently burned slopes. Where a drive or pad sits on a slope, a clean drainage layer and a defined outlet carry water away from the base instead of through it.

Dry season is the time to build. Base, driveway and paver work all go faster when the subgrade is dry and stable.
