Climate and Soil Conditions for Crushed Concrete in Gaithersburg
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is worth planning for. With roughly 95 days below freezing, the work window is shorter than in warmer areas. The ground can move enough to unsettle a base that is not well compacted. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the Gaithersburg area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than you would on well-drained ground. The ground around Gaithersburg is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.
Snowfall averages about 18 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose crushed concrete surface if the base is not firm enough.
How Much Crushed Concrete You Need for Your Job
Coverage depends on depth and area. A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs about 1.4 tons. To estimate how many tons your project requires, use the material calculators on our site.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Concrete in Gaithersburg
Do winter conditions in Gaithersburg affect delivery?
Yes. Gaithersburg has about 95 freezing days a year, and the ground can move enough to unsettle a base. Winter weather may delay delivery if the site is snowy or icy. Choose a window when the ground is firm and accessible.
Is Gaithersburg a wet enough area to worry about washout?
It can be. With about 47 inches of precipitation a year and about 77 wet days, washout is a real concern for a loose surface. Good compaction and proper drainage help prevent material from moving.
Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?
Yes. A contractor can place the order in their name and choose the delivery address. The phone number and presence during the window still apply.
Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?
Yes. Gravel Monkey takes orders from businesses, contractors and homeowners alike. The same ordering and delivery process applies to all.
