Materials for Sloughhouse Projects

Decorative rock is what most Sloughhouse yards are built around, and the beds are usually the first thing you notice from the road. The rest of the order runs on what the surface has to do: drain, pack firm, or hold a plant.

Dry creek beds, swales and borders

River cobble and large river rock slow runoff and read as a dry creek bed across a flat yard. Cobble handles the heavier erosion work where water needs to slow down and spread out.

Paths and patios

Stone Screenings, also called DG, packs firm and fine for paths, patios and low-water ground cover. It goes over a compacted Class 2 base, which is what keeps the edges from wandering after a wet winter.

Beds and ground cover

Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas, walkways and bedding, and river cobble works for decorative beds and borders. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the long dry season.

Under all of it, Class 2 Base is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base, also called CMB, do the same job on a drive or pad subgrade. If you need a surface on an existing drive, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base.

For drainage, 3/4" Drain Rock is clean stone with no fines, so water moves through it in French drains and drainage trenches. Drain Rock covers drywells, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.

Ground and Conditions in Sloughhouse

Sloughhouse sits on deep valley alluvium. In the flood basins and along the valley edges, that means heavy clay that cracks in summer. A cemented hardpan a few feet down across parts of the valley stops water moving deeper, so it sits where it lands.

Rain arrives mostly from late fall to spring in winter storms and atmospheric rivers. On flat clay and hardpan, water has nowhere to go and ponds. That is why drainage gets built into a job here instead of added after the first wet season.

An under-built base is what fails on this ground. Compact Class 2 base in lifts and the surface above it holds. Skip that and a driveway or patio edge drops once the clay underneath softens.

Winter rain leaves clay soft and sticky, which is what stops work. The long dry stretch from late spring into fall is the main working window, though dense tule fog can slow an early start.

Erosion risk here is not hillside. It is high water and bank erosion along rivers, creeks and levees during large winter storms. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, armors those banks and culvert outlets against that runoff.
