Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job in Arkadelphia
Arkadelphia sees about 56 inches of precipitation a year, with about 71 days that bring at least a tenth of an inch. That many wet days means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. If the ground is saturated, the truck can rut the surface and the stone may push into soft soil.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The area records about 66 freezing days a year and about 1 inch of snowfall. Freeze-thaw can heave a thin surface, so a thicker base layer helps. Plowing snow can also disturb a loose stone surface, so consider finishing with a finer top course.
Soils mapped in the Arkadelphia area are commonly moderately well drained. The ground around Arkadelphia takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Plan for water to move away from the stone layer.
