Local Conditions That Affect Your Walkway Gravel Project

Posey County has about 77 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery when the ground is firm helps avoid ruts from the truck. About 86 days drop below freezing, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles.

The county averages 12 inches of snow a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push material around, so plan where the plow goes. Ground freezing is real but moderate, which influences how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable.

Soils in the Posey County area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the gravel from sinking. The ground here is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly, and where it is not drained it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Posey County wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Posey County gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage is important to prevent washout and keep the gravel stable. Choose a size that allows water to pass through and plan a base that directs water away.

Does the ground in Posey County freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

Yes. About 86 days a year drop below freezing. The ground freezes enough to shift an uncompacted base, so ordering and installing before the freeze or after the thaw is wise. Compaction helps prevent frost heave.

How is walkway gravel measured and sold?

Walkway gravel is sold by the ton. The volume per ton varies with the size and density of the stone. Use our online calculator to convert your project dimensions into the tonnage you need.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?
