Crushed gravel is made by crushing larger rock, producing angular pieces that interlock under compaction. The size you need depends on the load and the subgrade. In Barnesville, sizes from fine to large are available for everything from a compacted base to mud control.

About 65 days a year drop below freezing. That can cause some ground movement, but frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Soils mapped in the Barnesville area are commonly well drained, and the ground takes in water at a moderate rate. That means standard base depths are usually enough, and you likely do not need extra thickness for drainage.
