How Penrose Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Concrete Project
Penrose gets about 13 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout are factors when planning your installation. Good compaction reduces the risk of shifting.
The area sees about 154 days where the temperature drops below freezing. That limits the work window to the warmer months and means the ground can heave if the base is not compacted well. Snowfall averages about 38 inches per year, so plowing can damage a loose surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the Penrose area are commonly well drained, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer in many areas. The ground around Penrose takes in water at a moderate rate, which means standard base depth is usually enough.
