Buy Crushed Gravel in Jeffersonville, Indiana

Crushed gravel is often confused with crushed stone. Both materials are crushed and angular, but crushed gravel comes from natural deposits of gravel, while crushed stone is quarried from solid rock. Both are angular and lock together well, making them suitable for base layers and driveways.

In Jeffersonville, the area gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year. That amount of rain means you have to plan for drainage and washout when using crushed gravel. A well-compacted base and proper slope help keep the surface stable.

How Local Weather and Soil Affect Crushed Gravel in Jeffersonville

Jeffersonville receives about 51 inches of precipitation a year. This means you need to plan for drainage and washout when using crushed gravel. A properly sloped surface with good compaction is necessary.

About 81 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting from the dump truck. About 80 days a year drop below freezing, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

The ground in Jeffersonville does not freeze as deep as in northern states, but the freezing is real and moderate. The soils mapped in the Jeffersonville area are commonly well drained, so standard base depth is usually enough. The ground around Jeffersonville takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning standard base depth is typically sufficient.
