Local Conditions That Affect Your Venice Gravel and Rock Job

Venice receives about 54 inches of rain per year. That means drainage and washout planning should be part of your design. About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts. The area sees roughly 1 day a year below freezing, which keeps the work window wide open and limits ground heave.

Soils mapped in the Venice area are commonly poorly drained. The ground around Venice sits in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. The consequence: more or less base stone under the surface layer depends on your specific site drainage. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.

How to Estimate How Much Gravel or Rock You Need

Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to estimate tonnage based on your project dimensions and depth. The calculator accounts for material density so you do not guess at coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel and Rock in Venice

How many wet days a year should I plan a gravel and rock delivery around in Venice?

About 70 days a year see at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery for a dry stretch so the truck can reach your drop spot without getting stuck and the material stays where you place it.

Is Venice a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Yes. Venice gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, which puts it above the national average. Washout is a real risk on slopes or in areas without drainage. Heavier rock like 2-4" River Rock resists moving better than pea gravel in those spots.

Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?

You or someone you nominate must be available during the delivery window. If nobody is there, the driver cannot unload, and a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply. The order is not refunded in that case.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on your first order. The code applies to gravel and rock delivered by Gravel Monkey. Terms apply.
