Crushed Gravel in Selma
The delivered cost of crushed gravel depends on the tonnage you need and your delivery ZIP. Selma gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a base material.
Crushed gravel is an angular, compactable stone that holds up under traffic and resists shifting. It is a common choice for driveways and base layers in this part of Fresno County, which permitted about 2,131 single-family homes in 2024.
Crushed Gravel Sizes Available for Selma Projects
The right size depends on what you are building and the ground conditions. Each size serves a different purpose, from fine topping to heavy structural base. All are crushed and angular, which means they lock together well.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use for top dressing on walkways and play areas. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | The standard choice for compacted base layers under driveways. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles farm access roads and heavy equipment traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable platform on weak or wet ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used for deep fill areas and to stabilize mud. |

Selma Weather and Soil Conditions for Crushed Gravel
Selma gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage is a key concern. The soil in the area is commonly well drained, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer. About 26 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction issues.
About 13 days a year drop below freezing. That level of frost affects how deep the base layer needs to be. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground around Selma is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is required under the surface.
These conditions are typical for the area. Your specific site may vary, so it is wise to check the soil and drainage before placing an order.
Figuring Out How Much Crushed Gravel You Need
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. To estimate how many tons your project requires, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in feet. Then use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons based on the material type.

Do winter conditions in Selma affect delivery?
Yes. Selma has about 13 days a year below freezing. Freeze-thaw cycles can make the ground soft, so schedule delivery onto firm ground. We need a site access road at least 12 feet wide and a person present during the window.

About 26 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Delivery is best scheduled onto dry, firm ground. If the ground is soaked, the material may not compact properly.
