Crushed Gravel in Oakhurst
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.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Project
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.

Does the soil around Oakhurst change how much crushed gravel I need?

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.
What is the difference between the sizes you stock?
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.
How deep should a gravel driveway be?
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.
