Fill Dirt Delivery for Scotts Valley, CA

What do you order when a pad has to come up before anything else goes on it? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Scotts Valley, CA, the answer usually starts with fill dirt, then Class 2 base on top. California Rock Supply delivers both to sites across Santa Cruz County.

Scotts Valley sits in the Coast Range, where clay soils swell when wet, so grade and drainage decide how a pad performs.

Delivery to Scotts Valley and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. The calculator sizes the load, so you are not guessing at the number.

At checkout you choose a delivery date, and a dump truck brings the material to your site. Bulk loads go to driveways, pads and back yards across Scotts Valley and the wider county.

We also deliver to Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Soquel, Capitola and Ben Lomond. If the truck can reach the pile spot, plan where you want it dropped before the load arrives.

Materials for Scotts Valley Projects

Most jobs here start below the surface. Fill dirt raises grade and builds up a pad, then a compacted base carries the load on top. Get that order right and the finish work goes down flat.

For a new driveway or parking pad, start with Fill Dirt to bring the subgrade up, then cap it with Class 2 Base. Also called Class II base rock, it is the standard California base, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base.

Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base do the same job where processed concrete or asphalt is allowed. For a drive that needs a binding, compacting surface, Crusher Run is the alternative, though most California buyers still ask for Class 2 base.

For a patio or path, compacted Class 2 base goes down first, then Stone Screenings packs firm on top. For a drain, use clean washed stone so water moves through instead of sitting.

Ground and Conditions in Scotts Valley

Soils change over short distances here. Sandy ground soaks water in quickly, while the heavy clay in the Coast Range valleys and hills cracks when dry and swells when wet.

That clay is why an under-built base fails. Fill placed over it needs to be worked and compacted in lifts, and the base above it needs to drain, or the pad moves with the seasons.

Most rain arrives from late fall to spring, often in a few large winter storms. On clay and slopes, that water sits or runs off, so plan a drainage layer and an outlet before winter.

Hillside runoff and slides on steep slopes are the winter risk, and saturated clay is what holds jobs up. The dry season from late spring into fall is the main window for base, driveway and paver work.
