Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Oakhurst address and unloads right where you point.
Madera County's growth means more driveways, pads and paths need a solid base. Oakhurst gets about 29 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for every gravel project.
Crushed gravel is angular and locks together under compaction. It works well for layers that need to bear weight and resist shifting.
Each crushed gravel size handles a different job. The table below lists the sizes Gravel Monkey stocks, what each is used for, and a short note.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth top surface for walkways and patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles most residential driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Good for roads and commercial lots that see truck traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before adding a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Stops mud in wet areas and fills deep ruts. |
Different jobs call for different sizes and depths. Use this table to pick the right product for common projects in the area.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in 4-inch lifts; use the calculator for total depth. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fills around pipes and drains; allows water to pass through. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift stabilizes the ground before a finer surface. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Handles repeated heavy traffic; compact well. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Provides a level, compacted base under concrete. |
Oakhurst has about 40 wet days a year, each with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts and makes spreading easier. The ground freezes on roughly 88 days a year, which can move an unsettled base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the Oakhurst area are commonly well drained. That means you may not need as much base stone under the surface layer as in heavier clay areas. The ground around Oakhurst also soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface. Madera County permitted about 1,335 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those new properties need a crushed gravel base for drives, patios or paths.

Soils mapped in the Oakhurst area are commonly well drained and belong to hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This means you may need less drainage stone under the surface layer. The exact amount depends on your site, so use the material calculators for a precise estimate.
The sizes range from 3/8 inch for a fine compacting layer to 2-3 inches for mud control and deep fill. Smaller sizes pack tightly for smooth surfaces, while larger sizes provide structural strength under heavy loads. Choose the size that matches the load and finish you need.
A typical driveway base is 4 to 6 inches of crushed gravel, but heavy loads or soft soil may require a deeper layer. Use the material calculators to find the right depth for your driveway dimensions and the crushed gravel size you select.
