How Rushville Weather Affects Your Driveway Gravel

Rushville sees about 126 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle works on a driveway from underneath: moisture in the soil expands and lifts the surface. If the base layer is too thin, you get heaving and ruts. About 14 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can gouge a loose top surface, especially if you use a blade set too low.

Soils mapped in the Rushville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, and the ground is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, and most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base stone matter more here than they do in many other places. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

About 66 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground makes a difference. A dry week before the truck arrives keeps the area solid and the truck from bogging down.

How Much Driveway Gravel You Need for Your Rushville Property
