Common Logan Projects Using Crushed Stone

When you need to fix drainage, stabilize a base, or build a patio, crushed stone is the material to use. The table below lists typical projects and the recommended size.

Local Climate and Ground Conditions in Logan

Logan sees about 148 freezing days a year, so the ground freezes deeply. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. That limits the work season and means a crushed stone base must be thick enough to resist shifting.

About 60 days each year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is important because a dump truck needs stable footing to dump safely.

Soils mapped in the Logan area are commonly well drained, and the ground takes in water at a moderate rate. That means standard base depths usually work, but the deep frost still calls for careful base design.
