Planning Around Arcadia's Wet Weather

Arcadia sees about 56 inches of rain a year, so drainage and washout planning affect your driveway gravel choice. The area's soils are commonly poorly drained, which can mean needing more base stone under the surface layer to keep the driveway solid.

With about 74 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. The ground around Arcadia is in dual hydrologic group A/D, so where it is drained it soaks water up quickly, but where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. This means that drainage and a deeper base can be more important here than in other places.

Freezing days are rare only about three a year below 32 degrees so the ground seldom heaves. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.

Estimating How Much Driveway Gravel You Need

To figure out how many tons of driveway gravel you need, measure the length and width of your driveway in feet and decide on the depth in inches. Use the driveway gravel calculator to get a tonnage estimate. The calculator accounts for the material's density and helps you order the right amount.
