What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Madera County?

For a residential driveway, a base of 1 1/2" crushed stone covered with 3/4" crushed stone or Stone Screenings works well. These materials compact into a stable surface that holds up under vehicles. If the soil is clay or wet, a deeper base may be needed to prevent sinking.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that help it compact into a dense, stable layer, making it ideal for driveways and base courses. Crushed Stone has no fines, so water drains through easily. Clean stone is better for drainage systems, while crusher run is better for load-bearing surfaces.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Clean 3/4" crushed stone or drain rock is best for foundation drainage. These materials allow water to flow freely without clogging the system. Avoid using crusher run or anything with fines near foundations, as it can retain water and cause moisture problems.

Products and Materials

Other materials such as mason sand, washed sand, fill dirt, stone screenings, garden soil, and shredded mulch are available for paver bedding, grading, planting beds, and landscape finishing. These are usually selected based on the project type, site condition, and delivery plan.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: For residential driveways in Madera County, a compactable base of 1 1/2" crushed stone topped with 3/4" crushed stone or Stone Screenings gives lasting stability. A base layer matters when the subsoil is clay or soft after rain.
Drainage: Crushed Stone or drain rock works best around foundations and in French drains because it lacks fines that can clog the system. Avoid materials with dust or clay content for drainage applications.
Patios and walkways: Use a compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone, then a setting bed of Stone Screenings or stone screenings. This combination prevents settling and helps pavers stay level.
Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone, river rock, or shredded mulch tops beds, while garden soil or top soil provides nutrients for plants. Mixing in a small amount of compost may improve results.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Madera County stretches from the flat Central Valley floor in the west up into the Sierra Nevada foothills in the east. Soils vary widely, from heavy clay in the valley that drains slowly to rocky, well-draining soils in the higher areas.

In the western part of the county, suburban lots and farms often need compactable base materials to handle wet winters. Driveways here may require deeper base layers to prevent rutting when rain saturates the clay.

Farther east, properties on slopes and rural acreage face erosion concerns. Angular crushed stone and drainage aggregates help manage runoff and stabilize the ground. Freeze-thaw cycles occur at higher elevations, so materials that resist frost heave are preferred.

Delivery and Access in Madera County

Delivery planning in Madera County depends on the property layout, truck access, and drop location. Rural driveways, tight turns, steep grades, soft ground, and overhead branches can affect the truck size or unloading point.

Before scheduling, customers should know where the material should be dropped, whether the truck can turn around, and whether the driveway or job site can handle the load. Loose gravel, long driveways, and unpaved roads are common in the county and we plan for them.
