How Jerseyville's Climate Affects Your Gravel Project

Jerseyville sees about 41 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is a key factor in choosing your gravel. Materials like drain rock and large river rock work well where water needs to move through fast. For surface layers, consider how much washout you can accept.

About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That affects scheduling: you want the ground firm when the dump truck arrives to unload. Planning for a dry stretch of weather helps.

The area gets roughly 104 freezing days per year. Freeze-thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Frost here is real but moderate, so a standard base depth of 4 to 6 inches of crusher run is usually enough under a surface layer. Soils mapped in the Jerseyville area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around here takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.

Estimating Your Tonnage Needs

To figure out how many tons of gravel or rock you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in inches. Then divide by the material's coverage per ton. You can use our material calculators to get an accurate estimate for your project. Simply enter the dimensions and depth, and the calculator will tell you the tons required. Order by the ton, and we deliver in dump truck loads.
