How Vernon's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Project

Vernon sees about 54 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting by the truck. With roughly 170 freezing days a year, the ground moves as it freezes and thaws.

Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Soils mapped in the Vernon area are commonly moderately well drained, so the base layer under surface stone may need to be thicker than on sandy ground. The ground around Vernon takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, which makes a deeper drainage layer earn its place.

Snowfall averages about 19 inches a year. Plowing a driveway surfaced with loose stone can shift it around unless the base is deep and well compacted. Apache County permitted about 91 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to new construction where crushed stone is often used for driveways and building pads.
