Each job needs a specific crushed stone size. This table shows what to order for common projects in Crescent City.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Project

Crescent City gets roughly 98 wet days a year, days with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Those conditions mean you should plan delivery for a dry stretch so the truck does not leave ruts. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Freezing temperatures drop below 32F on only about 5 days annually, so ground freezing is not a significant factor here. That local fact means the base layer under a driveway or patio does not need extra depth to guard against frost heave.

Soils mapped in the Crescent City area are commonly moderately well drained, an area soil characteristic that can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer. The ground around Crescent City is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place to handle that runoff.

How do I know how deep to go?

The depth depends on the project. For a driveway base, 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is common; for a French drain, the trench depth determines the stone depth. Use the crushed stone calculator to check volume.
