Crushed Gravel in Baker
Crushed gravel and crushed stone look alike at first glance, but they are different materials. Both are crushed and angular, so neither is rounded like pea gravel. The key difference is that crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits, while crushed stone is quarried from bedrock.
Baker gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed gravel installation.

What Baker's Climate Means for Your Crushed Gravel Project
Baker receives about 66 inches of precipitation each year, so drainage and washout planning are essential. If you don't account for water flow, the base can shift and your surface may settle unevenly.
About 78 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important. With only 23 freezing days per year and no significant ground freezing, the work window is long and the ground does not heave much. Soils mapped in the Baker area are commonly well drained, which helps water move through the base instead of pooling.
The ground around Baker takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually sufficient. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
Estimating How Much Crushed Gravel You Need
To figure out how many tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the length, width and desired depth of your area in feet. Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.35 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to get an accurate tonnage estimate for your project.
