Buy Crushed Stone in Burlington, Iowa

Burlington gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matters for any gravel surface. The right base depth and the right crushed stone size help keep water from moving the material around.

Choosing Crushed Stone for Common Burlington Projects

The table below matches typical projects with the right crushed stone and suggested depth.

How Burlington's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Surface

The soil in the Burlington area belongs to hydrologic group D, which means it absorbs water very slowly. Rainwater mostly runs across the surface instead of soaking in. That makes drainage and a deeper crushed stone base more important here than in areas with sandy soils.

Burlington sees about 69 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm, dry ground is easier during drier stretches. The county also gets about 122 days a year below freezing, which limits the work window for spreading and compacting stone.

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Roughly 20 inches of snowfall means plowing can dig into a loose surface if the stone is not well compacted. Deep and long ground freezing also means the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave.

Estimating Your Crushed Stone Tonnage

To figure out how many tons of crushed stone you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide on the depth in inches. Multiply those numbers together, then divide by 325. That gives you a rough tonnage for a compacted base. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a more exact number for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Burlington

When is the best time of year to order crushed stone in Burlington?

The best time is late spring through early fall, when the ground is firm and dry. Burlington has about 122 days a year below freezing, so winter deliveries must be scheduled on days when the ground is not frozen solid. Spring thaw is the wettest period and thin bases are most likely to rut.

Does the soil around Burlington change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. The soil in the Burlington area is in hydrologic group D, meaning it drains very slowly. That forces more water to run across the surface, so a deeper crushed stone base is needed to keep the surface stable and prevent washouts.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on your first Gravel Monkey order. The code applies to crushed stone and any other material you order.

Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?

Yes. You or someone you nominate must be at the delivery address during the chosen window. If nobody is there, the delivery may be missed and a redelivery fee can apply.
