Each project needs a different size and depth. Here is a quick guide for common Moline jobs:

How Moline's Climate and Soil Affect Your Driveway Gravel

Moline gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, enough to make drainage a real concern. A well-compacted base of angular gravel helps water move through instead of pooling on the surface. With about 72 wet days a year, you will want to schedule delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting during placement.

Soils mapped in the Moline area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than on heavier clay. But the ground around Moline is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for that soil behavior. About 129 freezing days and deep ground frost mean the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist heave. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

Snowfall of about 28 inches a year can cause plowing damage to a loose surface. A well-compacted top coat of 3/4" gravel holds up better against a blade.

Use our driveway gravel calculator to get a quick estimate based on the area and depth you plan to fill. The calculator also shows you how many tons fit in a standard dump truck load, which helps with planning.
