Match the problem to the stone. Here is what works for five frequent projects.

Mc Daniels Weather and Ground Conditions Matter for Crushed Stone

Mc Daniels sees about 82 days each year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground can avoid rutting. About 110 days a year drop below 32F, and that freeze-thaw cycle will unsettle a loose base unless the stone is well compacted. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Snowfall averages about 5 inches a year, which is light but enough to cause plowing damage to a loose crushed stone surface. Ground freezing is moderate, so the base layer under a driveway or structure needs to be deep enough to resist heave. Soils mapped in the Mc Daniels area are commonly moderately well drained, and the ground here often sits in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the site is drained, the stone base can be thinner; where it is not, more base stone is needed because water sheds across the surface instead of soaking in. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Mc Daniels

How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed stone delivery around in Mc Daniels?

Mc Daniels has about 82 days a year when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. That means a delivery scheduled during a drier spell is more likely to hit firm ground, which helps the dump truck place the load without sinking or making ruts.

Is Mc Daniels a wet enough area to worry about washout?

With about 52 inches of precipitation a year, washout is a real concern if the stone is placed on a slope or without a compacted base. The ground here often sheds water rather than absorbing it, so a thicker base and good drainage are worth planning for.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For regular car traffic, a crushed stone base of 6 to 8 inches compacted is typical. Heavier loads like work trucks or delivery vans may need 10 to 12 inches of compacted stone to prevent shifting and rutting.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

3/4" crushed stone is the most popular size for general use in Mc Daniels. It works as a driveway base, drainage backfill, and a compacted subbase for patios and walkways.
