How Turner's Climate Affects Your Crushed Stone Job

Turner averages about 88 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the delivery date needs firm ground, not mud. Plan to schedule your drop when the base is dry enough to work.

About 156 days a year drop below freezing. That narrows the work window: spring thaw and late fall are prime times, but winter freezes can stall a job. The deep, long ground freeze in Turner means the base layer under a driveway or slab needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Snowfall averages about 78 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose stone surface, so wait until after the last snow to top-dress. Soils mapped in the Turner area are commonly moderately well drained, which means you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Turner is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under stone that has to stay dry.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Calculate tonnage by multiplying the length and width of the area in feet by the depth in inches, then dividing by an industry factor. The result is an estimate. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a tonnage number for your project before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Stone in Turner

When is the best time of year to order crushed stone in Turner?

Late spring after the ground dries and early fall before the deep freeze are the best windows. Turner has about 156 freezing days a year, so winter ground is hard but snow can block access. Spring thaw makes ground soft, so avoid that period for heavy truck access.

Does the soil around Turner change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. Soils mapped in the Turner area are commonly moderately well drained and belong to hydrologic group C, which means water moves slowly through them. That can require a thicker crushed stone base for drainage and frost protection. Plan on deeper stone under driveways and patios.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use the coupon code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on your first order of crushed stone or any other material. The discount applies to the total before delivery charges.

Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?

Yes. You or a person you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window, morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. The driver needs someone to confirm the drop spot and sign off. If nobody is there, a redelivery fee may apply.
