Crushed Gravel in Blytheville
Blytheville gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain can wash out a loose surface if the crushed gravel layer is too thin or the base is wrong.
The right crushed gravel size and depth manage that water. A well-compacted base with angular stone locks together and resists the flow.

Blytheville Weather and Soil: What It Means for Your Crushed Gravel
Blytheville gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage is key, so angular crushed gravel that locks together and lets water through matters more than a rounded stone.
About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is easier in the drier months. About 64 days a year drop below 32F, which freezes the surface and causes heaving.
The ground around Blytheville soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Blytheville
Does the soil around Blytheville change how much crushed gravel I need?
Yes, soils mapped in the Blytheville area are commonly moderately well drained. That can mean a thicker base layer under the surface to handle occasional standing water. The exact thickness depends on the specific site and load.
What is the smallest load of crushed gravel you deliver to Blytheville?
The smallest load is 1 ton. With about 74 wet days a year, you can schedule delivery on a dry day for easier placement. Loads up to 40 tons are available for larger jobs.
Does the stone size change how well it compacts?
Yes, angular crushed gravel compacts better than rounded stone. Smaller sizes like 3/8" lock into a tight surface, while larger sizes create a strong interlocking matrix with some voids. Proper lifts and compaction equipment give the best result.
How is crushed gravel measured and sold?
Crushed gravel is measured in cubic yards but sold by the ton. You order online and pay based on the delivered weight. A dump truck delivers the material to your address. Use a calculator to convert volume to tons.
