Matching Projects to the Right Gravel or Rock

Each job needs a specific material and depth. The table below shows common Oakhurst projects and the product that works best.

How Oakhurst's Climate and Soil Affect Your Choice

Soils mapped in the Oakhurst area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in places with heavy clay. The ground here also belongs to hydrologic group A, so it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This behavior reduces the amount of drainage stone needed below grade.

About 88 days each year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freeze-thaw cycling moves loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Freeze depth is moderate, but base layers should still extend below the frost line to prevent heaving. Around 40 wet days bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule your delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.

Madera County permitted about 1,335 single-family homes in 2024. New construction in the county often uses gravel and rock for driveways, walkways and drainage systems.

Estimating How Much Gravel or Rock You Need

Material is sold by the ton, but tonnage depends on depth and area. Measure your project's length and width in feet, decide on depth in inches, then use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to convert that volume into tons. A cubic yard of most gravel weighs about 1.4 tons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the length of the freeze season in Oakhurst change what I should order?

Yes. Oakhurst sees about 88 days below freezing each year, which creates repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The ground moves during these cycles, so a deeper base layer of Crusher Run or Road Base is recommended to keep patios and paths from shifting.

Is Oakhurst wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. The area gets about 29 inches of precipitation annually, which can cause washout on slopes and standing water in low spots. Using Drain Rock in French drains and 2-4" River Rock for erosion control keeps water moving away from structures.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. New customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off their first order. The code applies to the material total before delivery fees.

How does delivery scheduling work after I order?

You choose a delivery date at least 3 business days away. You pick a morning or afternoon window. Gravel Monkey sends an order confirmation email and then a second email with the window time and a photo of the material. You must approve that email to schedule the delivery. A phone number is required, and someone 18 or older must be present during the window.
