Choosing the Right Gravel or Rock for Common Durango Jobs

Here are five typical projects in Durango and the products that work best for each. Depth suggestions are based on standard practice for the local conditions.

How Durango's Weather and Soil Affect Your Gravel Installation

Durango gets about 20 inches of precipitation a year. That moisture has to go somewhere, so a proper drainage layer under your gravel is important. Without it, water can pool and soften the base.

The area sees about 202 days a year below 32F, and about 85 inches of snowfall annually. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground shifts when it freezes, so a thick base helps keep the surface level.

Soils mapped around Durango are in hydrologic group C, which means they take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your gravel or rock helps move water away from the surface before it can cause damage.

Estimating the Amount of Gravel or Rock for Your Durango Project
