Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use compactable crushed stone (crusher run or 3/4 inch crushed) as a base. A 4- to 6-inch layer on a prepared subgrade provides a stable driving surface.
• Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel without fines. These materials create voids for water flow and prevent clogging in French drains or behind retaining walls.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a 4-inch crushed stone base, then top with Stone Screenings or sand for the setting bed. Compact each layer for a firm, level result.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Use bark mulch or decorative gravel for weed control and visual appeal. Amend existing soil with top soil or garden soil before planting.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Rough And Ready sits in the foothills of Nevada County, where properties range from compact historic lots near the town center to larger acreage parcels on rolling hills.

Some areas have well-draining Stone Screenings soils, while others contain more clay that retains moisture. Clay-heavy sites may need extra base depth for driveways and more open drainage stone to prevent water pooling.

The region experiences hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Occasional freeze-thaw cycles can heave poorly drained base layers, so using angular, crushed material helps lock the surface together.
