How Garrett's Climate and Soil Affect Crushed Stone Use

Garrett gets about 38 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when using crushed stone. The ground here freezes on about 136 days a year, which can cause frost heave if the base is not deep enough. Snowfall averages about 30 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface.

Soils mapped in the Garrett area are commonly poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Garrett is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in slowly and some runs off; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. Because of this, drainage and base depth matter more here than elsewhere. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
