River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for San Fernando, CA

Need gravel and aggregate delivery in San Fernando, CA? California Rock Supply stocks the materials local crews ask for by name, starting with Class 2 base.

Rain here arrives in a few hard winter storms after a long dry season. It runs off hard ground and clay fast, so drainage stone matters as much as base. Order online and a dump truck drops it at your site.

Materials for San Fernando Projects

Water is the first problem on most San Fernando jobs. It sheets off hardscape and packed clay, then pools where it cannot escape. Washed stone is how you move it away. These sizes run coarsest to finest.

Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells, downspout runs and the back of retaining walls. Clean stone, no fines, so water passes through instead of sitting in it.

3/4" Drain Rock is the workhorse of drainage trenches. Caltrans specifies material like this as #57 stone, and it also beds pipes and fills behind walls.

RipRap armors slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets against winter runoff. Caltrans calls placed rock on slopes rock slope protection.

Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm and fine for paths and patios. It goes over compacted base, never straight onto bare clay.

Class 2 Base, also called Class II base or class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California base under drives, parking pads, pavers and slabs.

Ground and Conditions in San Fernando

The warm, dry season here runs long, and it suits base and paver work most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption. Time your delivery around them.

Soils across the valley run from sandy loam to clay, and expansive clay shows up in many basins and hills. That clay swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. It moves under slabs and paving.

Two things follow from that. Keep water off the clay with a drainage layer and clean stone, and compact base in lifts so it locks up before the first storm. Build the pad on Class 2 base, not on bare ground.

When the first heavy storms hit burned hillsides and canyons, debris flows follow. Hillside runoff and slope failures come with winter rain. RipRap at the outlet and in the swale gives that water somewhere to go.
