Illinois weather and ground conditions for crushed stone

Across the cities Gravel Monkey delivers to in Illinois, annual precipitation runs from about 38 to 46 inches. This amount of rain means that a crushed stone base must drain well to avoid washout and settling. Using a clean, angular stone like #57 or 3/4" crushed stone helps water move through the layer.

The state sees about 94 to 135 days a year below 32F, and most of Illinois sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Frost heave can push up a thin base, so a deeper crushed stone layer is needed to keep driveways and foundations stable through freeze-thaw cycles.

Hydrologic soil groups C/D and C are the most common across the served cities. These are soils with slow to moderate drainage. As a result, you typically need a thicker crushed stone base to separate the structure from the moist subgrade. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
