Crushed Gravel in Clovis
Crushed gravel and crushed stone both come from quarries and both lock together under a compactor. The difference is where the rock comes from: crushed gravel is rock that has been tumbled in a stream before it is broken, which gives it a slightly more weathered face. In practice, both materials work for base layers and driveways, but crushed gravel holds together better in wet conditions. That matters in Clovis, where about 18 inches of precipitation a year can wash out a loose surface.
Choosing the wrong size for your job means extra cost or a weak base. The table below shows what each crushed gravel product does well and where it should not be used.
Crushed Gravel Sizes Available for Clovis Deliveries
Not every crushed gravel size suits every application. Each size below has a specific strength and a clear weakness. Use the list to match the gravel to the ground conditions you have.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Do not use for base under heavy vehicles; it lacks the bite to stay put. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Avoid for deep fill; it compacts too tightly to let water drain. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not for topping; the sharp edges are hard on tires and feet. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Too coarse for a final surface; you need a finer cap on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Does not compact into a solid surface; use it only as a sub-base. |
Matching the Surface Type to the Right Crushed Gravel in Clovis
The table below matches common project types to the correct crushed gravel size. The depth and preparation depend on what is underneath.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches compacted in lifts |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches on compacted subgrade |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in 12-inch lifts, compact each |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches minimum for heavy loads |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches first lift, then cap with smaller stone |
Clovis Weather and Ground Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job
About 104 days a year drop below freezing in Clovis. Freeze-thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. If you put down a thin base, frost can lift it and cause ruts come spring. Plan for at least 6 inches of base stone under any surface that will carry vehicles.
Snowfall averages about 9 inches a year. Plowing that snow over a loose gravel surface can scrape away the top layer and leave bare spots. Using a compacted 3/4" crushed gravel top course with good interlock minimizes that damage. Wet days are rare here, about 32 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is usually straightforward.
Soils mapped in the Clovis area are commonly well drained, and the ground around Clovis takes water in at a moderate rate. That means standard base depth is usually enough for most residential and farm projects. Deeper lifts are still needed on soft subgrade, but the average lot here rarely fights the drainage battle that other areas do.
How to Estimate the Tonnage of Crushed Gravel You Need
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the lift. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons, but compaction settles the material and changes the volume. Use our material calculators to convert your square footage into tons. Enter the length, width and depth, and the calculator gives you a tonnage range for the specific product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Clovis
How many tons of crushed gravel do I need for my project?
The tonnage depends on the area and the depth of the lift. Use our material calculators to convert your dimensions into tons. Clovis gets about 18 inches of rain a year, so you may need extra base depth on poorly draining sites, which raises the tonnage.
Do you deliver crushed gravel to Clovis and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver to addresses in Clovis and the surrounding area, including Curry County, which has about 37,734 residents. Delivery is by dump truck to your specified location. Choose your window at checkout.
Which size is the most common choice for this material?
The 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the most common size for driveways, base layers and road access. It compacts well, drains enough for most Clovis soils, and stays in place under vehicle traffic.
How does delivery scheduling work after I order?
You choose a morning or afternoon window at checkout. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You receive an email confirmation, then a second email with the window and a photo of the load. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
