Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Shaver Lake, CA

California Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Shaver Lake, CA, from Class 2 base to drain rock, sand and topsoil. Driveways and parking pads here start with Class 2 base, the standard California base material. Thin rocky soils over granite mean you build the grade up before you surface it.

Order online and the material arrives sized for the job, whether you are rebuilding a drive, bedding a slab or armoring a slope against snowmelt.

Materials for Shaver Lake Projects

Most work here starts with a base layer and finishes with a surface. Class 2 base is specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base, and it is what you want under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Compact it in lifts for a drive or pad that holds through a wet spring.

Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base are the same idea made from Road Base or asphalt, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Use them the same way under drives and patios.

For the surface, driveway gravel tops a compacted base and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish. Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patios laid over base.

Washed stone handles water. Drain rock goes in French drains, drywells and behind retaining walls, and 3/4 inch crushed rock works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Sand and soil round out a load. Mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints, washed sand beds and levels under slabs, and top soil builds up planting areas over rocky native ground.

Ground and Conditions in Shaver Lake

Winter storms bring rain and snow, and melting snow keeps the ground wet into spring. Water runs fast off rock and thin soil on slopes, then collects where drives and pads cut across it. Plan for that before you order base.

Snowmelt and storm runoff on steep slopes and unpaved roads drive erosion here, and intense rain on recently burned slopes can send debris flows. Rip rap and cobble armor slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets, while drain rock and 3/4 inch drain rock move water away from a pad instead of letting it sit under it.

Frost is a real design factor. Freezing nights are routine through winter, and snow is heavy and lasting at the highest elevations. Frost depth is set by the local building department, commonly 18 to 24 inches in mountain towns. That depth drives how deep your base goes.

The working window is late spring to fall. Snow and frozen or saturated ground stop most base and excavation work in winter, and the spring thaw can leave unpaved ground soft. Build in the dry months and you compact a base that lasts.

Delivery to Shaver Lake and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by the truckload, so have the drop spot clear before it shows up. Pick a firm, level area the driver can reach and back out of, and keep the pile close to where you are spreading it.

Order online and size the load by the ton or the cubic yard. Measure your drive or pad, decide the depth you need, and the quantity follows. Class 2 base is usually placed in lifts, so a deep pad becomes several passes with the plate compactor.

We deliver across Shaver Lake and Fresno County, including Fresno, Clovis, Sanger, Reedley and Selma. Steep driveways and tight mountain lots are normal here, so tell us the access and we will match the truck to it.
