Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Selma, CA

What do you need for a pad that will not sink? Gravel and aggregate delivery in Selma, CA starts with the layer most people skip. California Rock Supply delivers bulk fill and base, and the material that carries a slab, a drive or a shop pad here is Class 2 base, also called Class II base rock.

Selma sits on deep valley alluvium in Fresno County, where heavy clay and a cemented hardpan a few feet down hold water instead of letting it drain.

Delivery to Selma and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. The load arrives by dump truck and is placed on your site. If you are unsure how much you need, use the calculator to size the load before you order.

Bulk delivery covers Selma and the surrounding parts of Fresno County, including Fresno, Clovis, Sanger, Reedley and Coalinga. For a pad or a drive within the city, place the truck where the pile can be worked from without blocking the street.

Materials for Selma Projects

Fill and sub-base matter first here, because most Selma projects start by raising grade or building a pad. With heavy clay underfoot and hardpan not far beneath it, the fill layer sets how the finished surface behaves. Order the fill and the base to match the job, not the other way around.

Fill Dirt is the first load on a site that needs grade. It raises low ground, backfills and builds up a pad before a base goes down, so the base has something firm to sit on.

On top of that, Class 2 Base is the standard California base, specified by Caltrans as Class 2 aggregate base. It compacts hard and carries driveways, parking pads and the base under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths. Recycled base rock made from Road Base or asphalt does the same job, and crusher run does the same work for buyers who want a binding, compacting material.

For a patio or a path, Stone Screenings packs firm and fine over a compacted base. Where water needs to move, Drain Rock is clean stone with no fines, used in French drains, drywells and behind retaining walls.

For lawns and beds built up over clay or hardpan, Top Soil gives roots something to work in instead of the native ground.

Ground and Conditions in Selma

Start from the soil and what it does to an under-built base. The ground here is deep valley alluvium, with heavy clay that cracks in summer and a cemented hardpan a few feet down across parts of the valley. Water will not move down through that, so it ponds.

Most rain in Selma arrives from late fall to spring in winter storms and atmospheric rivers. On flat clay and hardpan, that water has nowhere to go. A base laid on soft native ground takes on that moisture and moves. A drainage layer, or fill brought up to grade before the base, keeps the surface from pumping.

The long, hot, dry season from late spring into fall is the working window. Winter rain that leaves clay soft and sticky is what stops jobs, and dense tule fog slows early starts. Flat ground means little hillside erosion, so the erosion risk here sits along rivers, creeks and levees during large winter storms, where rip rap armors banks and culvert outlets.
