Bulk Gravel Delivery to Redlands, CA

The long dry season across the Inland Empire is when gravel and aggregate delivery in Redlands, CA does its best work. Base and paver crews can run most of the year here. California Rock Supply stocks Class 2 base and the supporting materials for that schedule.

Winter storms are the main interruption. Rain arrives in a few heavy events after months of dry weather, so plan the pour and the compaction around those days.

Ground and Conditions in Redlands

Soils in the Redlands area run from sandy loam to clay, and expansive clay is common in the basins and hills. That clay swells when it wets and shrinks and cracks when it dries. A thin base over it moves with the ground.

The failure shows up as rutting, rocking pavers and cracked slab edges after the first wet winter. The fix is enough compacted base to spread the load and a drainage path that moves water away from the clay.

Water is the driver. Storms run off hardscape and hard dry ground fast, and wetting expansive clay pushes up under slabs and paving. Build the base and the drainage together, not one after the other.

Materials for Redlands Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the work that comes up most, and the bedding is only as good as what sits under it. Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock, is the standard California base material and the one to start with. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. It compacts hard and carries the load under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Order Class 2 Base for the compacted layer.

Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) are the same job from Road Base or asphalt. Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base, so they work under drives, patios and slabs. For a binding, compacting base on a drive, Crusher Run is the alternative.

Above the base, the surface material sets the look and the feel underfoot. Stone Screenings, also called DG, packs firm and fine for paths and patios. Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable path surface.

Sand matters as much as stone in flatwork. Mason sand, also called masonry sand, goes into brick and block work and paver joints. Washed sand, or concrete sand, is the leveling and bedding sand under slabs. Order Mason Sand and Washed Sand for the setting layers.

Drainage stone belongs in the same order. Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs. On a slope or creek bank, rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors against winter storm runoff.

Delivery to Redlands and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material is ordered online, and you choose the quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are not sure which unit fits your project, the calculator sizes the load before you check out. You pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Redlands sits in San Bernardino County, and delivery covers the city plus San Bernardino, Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Victorville. Have the drop spot clear and reachable for the truck, and think about where the pile should sit before the driver arrives. A load placed close to the work saves you moving it twice.
