How Hays weather and soil affect your crushed stone job

Soils mapped in the Hays area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to clay soils. The ground around Hays is in hydrologic group B, taking water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.

About 142 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezing here is deep and long. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A properly compacted crushed stone base resists the heaving that can crack driveways and patios.

Hays also sees about 15 inches of snowfall each year. Plowing can damage a loose surface, so a stable, well-compacted top course is important for driveways that get plowed.
