Kokomo Climate and Soil Conditions for Driveway Gravel
About 130 days a year drop below freezing in Kokomo, and the ground freezes deep and long. This affects how deep the base layer needs to be to resist heaving.
Snowfall averages about 23 inches per year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone aside if the base is thin. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Soils mapped in the Kokomo area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, and the ground is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where drainage is good, water soaks in slowly; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
