Local Conditions in Aroostook County That Affect Your Driveway Gravel
Soils mapped in the Aroostook County area are commonly well drained. This means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to areas with heavy clay. The ground around Aroostook County soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is required beneath your gravel.
The county experiences about 190 days a year that drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 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 thicker base of coarse gravel helps keep the surface stable through the freeze-thaw cycle.
Aroostook County gets about 99 inches of snowfall annually. Plowing can damage a loose surface if the gravel is not well compacted. Choosing a size that locks together, such as 3/4-inch or 2- to 3-inch, helps resist plow blades.
How to Estimate the Amount of Driveway Gravel You Need
To figure your tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide the depth in inches. Multiply length times width times depth, then convert to cubic feet and divide by the weight per cubic foot. Use our driveway gravel calculator to get an instant estimate based on your project dimensions.
