How Chinle's Climate Affects Your Driveway Gravel

Chinle's dry climate means fewer wet days than many places, but the ones that come matter. About 32 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. A delivery during a dry spell gives the truck solid access and keeps the gravel from mixing with mud.

Freezing temperatures are common here, with about 166 days a year below 32F. That shortens the work window for laying and compacting gravel. The ground also moves with freeze-thaw cycles, which is why a deeper base layer matters. Snowfall of about 21 inches a year adds plowing damage to a loose surface, so consider a top layer that can handle a blade.

Soils in the Chinle area are commonly moderately well drained, which means the base layer under the surface gravel does not need to be as deep as in heavy clay areas. However, the ground around here takes water in slowly, so a drainage layer still earns its place. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

How Much Driveway Gravel You Need

Estimating tonnage starts with the area you want to cover and the depth you plan to use. A deeper base requires more stone. Use our driveway gravel calculator to get a rough tonnage for your project size.
