Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Rough and Ready, CA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Rough and Ready, CA by the ton or yard. California Rock Supply delivers bulk Class 2 base, soil and stone across Nevada County. Start with Class 2 base, the standard California base material, then build your beds and grade on top of it.

Rocky hillside ground here runs shallow over bedrock. Clay holds water in pockets while Stone Screenings drains fast. Pick your material for the ground under it.

Materials for Rough and Ready Projects

Most work here starts with grade and soil. Raise a pad or lift a low corner with Fill Dirt, then compact before any base goes down. It is structural fill, so it carries the load above it.

Build planting areas with Top Soil. It goes over clay, hardpan or sandy native ground to give roots something to work in. For raised beds, Garden Soil holds moisture through the dry season. Cover both with Shredded Mulch to hold that moisture longer.

Then cap the work with base and surface stone.

Class 2 base is also called Class II base rock, class 2 aggregate base or base rock. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock made from Road Base or asphalt does the same job, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed material in aggregate base.

Ground and Conditions in Rough and Ready

Water drives every decision here. Heavy winter rain hits shallow soil and bedrock on slopes and runs off fast. Clay pockets hold it instead. Either way, your drive and pad need to shed water, and runoff from the slope above needs a path.

Give that water somewhere to go. Use Drain Rock in french drains and drywells, and 3/4" Drain Rock in drainage trenches. Both are clean stone with no fines, so water moves through.

Arm the steep ground against runoff with RipRap. Caltrans calls placed rock on slopes rock slope protection. It holds creek banks and culvert outlets through winter storms.

Time the work around the weather. Late spring into fall is the window. Winter storms turn clay and steep drives to mud, and mid-winter snow can delay the higher ground.

Delivery to Rough and Ready and the Surrounding Area

Order online by the ton or by the yard. Size the load with the calculator, then pick your material and confirm the drop point. Bulk loads arrive on a dump truck and tip where you direct.

Have the site ready before the truck reaches you. Clear the gate, mark the pile spot, and check overhead lines and soft ground. A loaded truck needs firm footing and room to turn.
