Start with Class 2 base. It is the standard California base material, and it carries most driveways, parking pads and patio subgrades here. Soils around Marin shift over short distances, from sandy shoreline ground to heavy clay, so the base under your flatwork matters.

Ground and Conditions in Sausalito

A thin base fails fast on clay. The surface dips, pavers rock, and joints open within a season. Clay swells when wet and cracks when dry, so it moves under anything sitting on it.

Fix it with depth and compaction, not with a thicker paver. Excavate to the planned subgrade, then place and compact Class 2 base in lifts so the whole layer locks up. The base spreads the load and keeps the clay from working upward.

Water decides how a base performs. Rain arrives from late fall to spring, often in a few large storms. It drains through sand quickly but sits on clay and runs off slopes, so plan drainage before you pave.

Hillside runoff and slides are the winter risk on steep ground. Add a drainage layer where water collects. Keep an eye on the working season too. Late spring into fall is the main window for base, driveway and paver work, and saturated clay is what stalls a job.

Materials for Sausalito Projects

Patio and flatwork jobs start below the surface. Bedding and base choices decide whether pavers stay flat. These materials cover the layers under a patio, plus the surfaces on top.

Class 2 Base is the local name for Class 2 aggregate base, also called class ii base, class 2 base rock or base rock. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base. Use it under pavers, slabs, driveways and Stone Screenings paths. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job from Road Base or asphalt.

Bed the pavers themselves on a level, compacted layer. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, levels and beds under slabs. Mason Sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. Washed Sand blends coarse sand and fine gravel for leveling and bedding.

For the surface, Stone Screenings packs firm for paths and patios laid over a compacted base. Driveway Gravel surfaces a drive or tops a compacted Class 2 base. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Drainage stone keeps water moving. Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and drainage behind retaining walls. 3/4" Drain Rock is clean stone with no fines, so water passes through it.

Questions Sausalito Buyers Ask

What gravel is best for a driveway in Sausalito?

Start with Class 2 base. It is the standard California base material and compacts into a hard, stable layer on driveways and parking pads. Top it with driveway gravel if you want a finished surface. On clay soils, compact the base in lifts and plan drainage so water does not sit under the drive.

How much material will my project need?

Use the calculator on the product page. Enter your project area and the depth you plan to build, and it returns a quantity by the ton or the yard. Ordering slightly over is common with bulk material, since compaction settles the layer and a small cushion saves a second load.
