Which Material Fits Your Hartly Job

Match your project to the right product and the right depth. Here is a quick guide for five common jobs.

How Hartly's Climate Affects Your Gravel and Rock Choice

Soils mapped in the Hartly area are commonly well drained. That means you usually need less base stone under the surface layer than you would on heavy clay. The ground around Hartly also soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface. These two factors can save you tonnage and money on the base.

About 87 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thicker initial layer of compactable base like Crusher Run helps fight frost heave in driveways and paths.

Snowfall averages about 13 inches a year. Plowing that snow can damage a loose surface, so choose angular material like Road Base for areas that get scraped. The work window runs from late spring through early fall if you want to avoid frozen ground and wet conditions.

How Much Gravel or Rock You Need

Figuring out the right amount comes down to the area and the depth you want. Use our material calculators to estimate tonnage for any project. Enter your square footage and the depth, and the calculator gives you tons. Order a little extra to account for compaction and settling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel and Rock in Hartly

Does the length of the freeze season in Hartly change what I should order?

Yes. Hartly sees about 87 freezing days a year. That means more freeze-thaw cycles that can push loose material around. Ordering a thicker base of compactable stone like Crusher Run gives the ground a stable layer that resists movement when the frost goes in and out.

Is Hartly wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Hartly averages about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so water management matters. The local soils are well drained and soak water quickly, which helps, but you still want open-graded rock like Drain Rock for French drains and dry wells. For paths and patios, a compacted base of Crusher Run keeps the surface from turning into mud.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout and you get $50 off your first order with Gravel Monkey. The code works on any material and any load size.

How does delivery scheduling work after I order?

At checkout you pick a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation right away, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be on site during the window. A valid phone number is required to confirm the order.
