Materials for San Marcos Projects

Drainage drives most of what leaves our yard for this city. Rain arrives in a few heavy winter storms, and it runs off hard ground and clay fast. Washed stone with no fines lets that water move instead of ponding. Here is what to order, listed from the finest size up to the coarsest.

Start fine. 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping layer over compacted base. #89 Crushed Stone is smaller washed stone for tight bedding and paver joints.

Mid sizes do the heavy drainage work. 3/4" Drain Rock is clean stone for French drains, drainage trenches and drainage layers. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, downspout runs and the drainage behind retaining walls. #67 Stone is a slightly smaller washed size for drainage and concrete work.

Coarse stone suits the toughest spots. #4 Crushed Stone goes into heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. Railroad Ballast is the coarse option for hard standing and severe drainage. Where slopes, creek banks or culvert outlets need armoring against winter runoff, RipRap is the placed rock for the job.

Under all of that sits base. Class 2 Base, also called Class II base or Class 2 aggregate base, is the standard California base for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. For surfacing, Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or a compacted base, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Ground and Conditions in San Marcos

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, so time a delivery around them and keep excavated areas covered. Ground here is alluvial, running from sandy loam to clay, and expansive clay appears in many basins and hills.

That clay swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. Wetting it under a slab or a drive makes it move. Compact Class 2 base over stable, properly prepared ground so the paving above has something that holds. Where water collects, a clean drainage layer of washed stone gives it a path out.
