What Effingham County Conditions Mean for Your Crushed Stone Job
Soils mapped in the Effingham County area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need a base layer of crushed stone to separate the surface from the ground below. The county has about 71 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts.
About 28 days a year drop below freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift the base if it is not thick enough. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base depth needed is less than in colder areas.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. The rain you do get drains quickly because the ground around Effingham County soaks water up fast and produces little runoff. That reduces the amount of drainage stone needed under the surface.
