Different projects need different stone sizes. This table shows what to order for five common jobs.

Frankfort Climate and Soil Considerations for Crushed Stone

About 122 days a year drop below 32F. The ground freezes deep and long, which means the base layer needs to be thicker to avoid heaving. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

About 80 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps keep the truck from rutting the yard and lets the stone compact properly.

Soils mapped in the Frankfort area are commonly poorly drained. Where the ground is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other areas. Frankfort also gets about 20 inches of snow a year, and plowing a loose stone surface can scatter the material if the base is not well bound.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Frankfort

How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed stone delivery around in Frankfort?

Plan for about 80 days a year when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Those days can make the ground soft and rutting easy. Pick a dry spell to schedule your delivery.

Is Frankfort a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Frankfort gets about 43 inches of precipitation annually. Combined with poorly drained soils, washout is a real concern. A proper base and drainage layer help prevent stone from spreading.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For a driveway that supports cars, a depth of 6 to 8 inches of crushed stone is typical. Heavier vehicles may need more. The base thickness depends on the soil conditions and the load.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

3/4 inch crushed stone is the most common all-purpose size. It works for driveways, base layers, and drainage. Many contractors start with that size for general use.
