Picking the Right Crushed Stone for Common Jobs in Indianola

Each project needs a specific crushed stone size and depth. The table below matches typical jobs to the recommended product and a typical depth.

How Indianola Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Project

Indianola gets about 38 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning are important for any crushed stone surface, especially driveways and parking areas. About 65 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can turn a loose surface into mud if the base is not thick enough.

About 137 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift a thin base, so the base layer of crushed stone needs to be deep enough to resist frost heave. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. If you plan to use crushed stone for a driveway, schedule the delivery when the ground is firm enough to support the truck and the base can be compacted properly.

Soils in the Indianola area are commonly moderately well drained, which can mean needing more or less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Indianola is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. For projects like driveways and patios, a deeper drainage layer of crushed stone earns its place to channel water away from the surface.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need for Your Job

Crushed stone is sold by the ton, and the amount you need depends on the area and the depth of the layer. You can estimate your tonnage by using the crushed stone calculator on the Gravel Monkey site. Enter the length, width and depth of your project, and the calculator gives you the approximate tons.
