How Floyd County's Climate and Soil Affect Crushed Gravel Use

About 88 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is important. The truck needs solid footing to dump without rutting the site.

With around 114 freezing days a year, the work window and how much the ground moves matter. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost heave can shift a poorly compacted gravel layer.

Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface. Soils mapped in Floyd County are commonly well drained, which means the base layer may need less stone than in heavy clay areas. Ground around Floyd County is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is required under the surface layer.

How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

Estimate your tonnage by calculating the volume of the area in cubic feet and dividing by the material's density. Use our material calculators to get an approximate tonnage based on the dimensions of your project.
