Matching Crushed Stone to Common Projects

The table below matches each project to a recommended crushed stone product. Depth and quantity depend on the specific job plan and site conditions.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Elwood gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is essential. The ground around Elwood is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, the soil takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. Good drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.

About 128 days a year drop below 32 degrees F. That shapes the construction calendar. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Snowfall runs about 20 inches a year, which can cause plowing damage to a loose crushed stone surface if the base is not compacted well.

Soils mapped in the Elwood area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That can mean more base stone is needed under the surface layer to keep the structure stable. This is area guidance, not a site-specific call. Your individual ground conditions may differ.
