How Torrington's Climate Affects Crushed Stone Work

Torrington gets about 86 wet days a year, which is days with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction issues from mud. About 152 days a year drop below freezing, and about 51 inches of snow fall annually. Plowing can disturb a loose crushed stone surface, so a well-compacted base helps.

Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Ground freezing is deep and long, which means the base layer needs enough depth to resist frost heave. That depth depends on the specific project and soil.

Soils mapped in the Torrington area are commonly well drained. The ground here is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate. For most projects, standard base depth is usually enough, but the exact need varies with your own soil.
