Local Conditions That Affect Crushed Stone Use in Albia

Albia sees about 67 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground becomes important during those wet periods.

Around 135 days a year drop below 32 F. That long freeze window limits when you can place and compact stone, and deep ground freezing means the base layer has to hold up through thaw cycles.

Snowfall averages about 24 inches a year. A loose crushed stone surface can rut easily if plowed, so consider a top coat of finer material or plan to plow carefully.

Soils mapped in the Albia area are commonly poorly drained, and the ground around Albia is in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
