Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Potrero, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Potrero, CA. The long dry season here lets you build drives and pads most of the year, and winter storm days are the main interruption. Plan around the wet weeks and your Class 2 base work goes in clean.

Potrero sits on alluvial ground that runs from sandy loam to clay, with expansive clay in the basins and hills. That clay swells when it soaks and cracks when it dries, so the base under a drive matters more than the surface stone on top.

Materials for Potrero Projects

Driveways and parking pads lead the work here. The standard California base material is Class 2 base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, and Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. It compacts hard and carries the load under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths.

Recycled base rock is Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt, and it goes down the same way under drives, patios and slabs. Some suppliers around here also call it CMB, or crushed miscellaneous base. If you want a binding, compacting material instead, crusher run does that job.

Once the base is compacted, driveway gravel surfaces the drive, and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable top. Stone Screenings, often shortened to DG, packs firm for paths, patios and low-water ground cover laid over a compacted base.

Water still has to go somewhere. Drain rock and 3/4 inch drain rock are clean stone with no fines, so they move water in French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Runoff behind a retaining wall needs the same clean stone.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints, and topsoil or garden soil rebuilds beds over tight clay. Fill dirt raises grade before any base goes down.

For decorative work, river cobble and Natural Pea Gravel handle beds, borders and dry creek beds. Riprap armors slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets, and Caltrans calls placed rock on slopes rock slope protection.

Ground and Conditions in Potrero

Rain arrives in a few winter storms, and it runs fast off hard dry ground and clay. Expansive clay swells under slabs and paving once it wets, which is where cracked drives and heaved pads start.

The answer is a graded pad with room to drain. Strip the soft material, build up with fill dirt, then compact Class 2 base in lifts. Clean drain rock at the low edge gives water a path out instead of a place to sit.

Burned hillsides and canyons above Potrero push debris flows when the first heavy storms hit, and winter runoff brings slope failures on hillsides. Riprap at the culvert outlet and along a creek bank slows that water before it cuts.

Timing follows the season. The warm dry months suit base and paver work, and winter storm days are the interruption you schedule around.
