Drain Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Trona, CA

Start with the load size. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Trona, CA runs on the ton or the yard, and California Rock Supply has a calculator on the site that turns your area and depth into a number you can order. Get that figure, then pick the material. Class 2 base handles drives and pads, and clean washed stone handles the water.

Materials for Trona Projects

Water is the job here. Rain is scarce, but when it comes it arrives fast off bare rock and steep slopes, and a wash will cross a road before you have time to move a truck. Clean washed stone is what you build with when drainage has to work the first time.

Listed coarsest to finest, here is what we stock for that work.

For a French drain or a downspout run, the stone has to be washed and free of fines so water moves through the void space instead of silting it shut. Use 3/4" drain rock in the trench and Drain Rock around the pipe, drywell or footing. Where a downspout dumps at the edge of a slab, a short run of clean stone puts the water somewhere useful.

Under the stone, the drive itself wants Class 2 Base, also called Class II base rock or Class 2 aggregate base. It is the standard California base material, specified as Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base, and it compacts hard. Recycled base rock and crushed miscellaneous base are the same Class 2 material made from Road Base or asphalt, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base.

Around the house, Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patios. River Cobble and Large River Rock slow runoff in dry creek beds and swales, and rip rap armors the steeper banks. On the fine end, Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and bedding, and Mason Sand fills paver joints.

Delivery to Trona and the Surrounding Area

Order online, pick your quantity by the ton or the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. California Rock Supply covers Trona and the rest of San Bernardino County, including San Bernardino, Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Victorville. A dump truck brings the load to your site and tips it where you want it.

Think about where the truck can reach before you order. A drive or pad that is getting rebuilt is the easy drop, since the pile lands where the material is going anyway. On a tight lot, stage the pile close to the work and keep the access clear.

Ground and Conditions in Trona

Soils here are mostly sandy and gravelly on the alluvial fans and washes, and they take water quickly. That is good for drainage and hard on compaction, because the same open structure that drains well also lets a base move. Build the pad up with structural fill, then compact Class 2 base in lifts over it.

Timing matters more than most places. The cooler months are the working window, with extreme summer heat and late-summer storms pushing crews off the desert through the middle of the year. Winter nights in the high desert often drop below freezing, so plan pours and compaction around that. Frost is set by the local building department and is not a factor on the low desert floor.

Wind is the other half of it. Blowing sand and dust strip bare, disturbed ground, so get cover on graded areas rather than leaving them open through a windstorm. Armor the wash crossings and culvert outlets with rip rap before the winter storms arrive, not after.
