Cobble, Stone and Soil Delivery in Temecula, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Temecula, CA, from single loads of Class 2 base to truckloads of cobble and drain rock. Local ground runs from sandy loam to expansive clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry, so base depth matters here. We deliver bulk material by the ton to homes, ranches and job sites across Riverside County.

Materials for Temecula Projects

Winter storms and steep ground drive most of the material questions we get here. The Inland Empire valleys have burned hillsides and canyons above them, and the first heavy rain moves fast. Coarse, open-graded stone is what slows that water down and holds soil in place.

Start with the biggest stone when a slope, swale or bank needs protecting. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection, is placed rock that armors creek banks, culvert outlets and hillside faces against storm runoff. Caltrans calls this rock slope protection, and it is the first line of defense on exposed ground.

Behind and below that armor, drainage does the quiet work. Work down through the sizes:

• RipRap for slope, creek bank and culvert outlet armoring.
• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.
• Stone Screenings, or DG, for paths and patios laid over a compacted base.
• Class 2 Base for driveways, parking pads and the compacted base under pavers and slabs.

Class 2 base is the standard California base material, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. Recycled base rock does the same job when the site calls for it; it is Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base.

Ground and Conditions in Temecula

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work for most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, so most crews here schedule grading, base and paving in the dry stretch and leave storm weeks open.

Plan a delivery so the material lands before your crew is ready to spread it, not after. Base and drain rock both want a dry, firm subgrade under them, and a load that sits through a rain event can slow the whole job.

Expansive clay is the other thing to respect. Wetting makes it swell under slabs and paving, so a compacted Class 2 base at proper depth is what keeps a drive or patio from moving. Where water needs to leave the site, a clean drainage layer of 3/4 inch drain rock, also called #57 stone, lets it move instead of pooling.

Delivery to Temecula and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. Tell us the material, the amount and where it should go on the property, and we route the load from there. Bulk delivery to a Temecula site usually means a dump truck backing to a driveway, pad or open lot.

We cover Temecula and the rest of Riverside County, including Murrieta, Corona, Riverside, Moreno Valley and Jurupa Valley. Lead time varies with the material and the day, so it pays to order before the date you need it on site.

Have a clear drop spot, a gate wide enough for the truck and an idea of how much ground the pile will cover. A little planning keeps the material where you want it and out of the way of your crew.
