Crushed Gravel Sizes for Berkley Projects

Not every crushed gravel size works for every job. The finest material can wash out on a slope. The coarsest is too rough for a walkway surface. The table below lists the sizes we carry and what each one does best.

How Berkley's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job

Berkley has about 85 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important. About 130 days a year drop below 32F, which shifts the work window and causes the ground to move under the stone. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Snowfall averages about 34 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose surface if the gravel is not compacted well. Soils mapped in the Berkley area are commonly poorly drained, so more base stone may be needed under the surface layer than in well-drained areas. The ground around Berkley is in hydrologic group D, meaning it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

Frost in Berkley is real but moderate. The depth you need for the base layer depends on how much the ground heaves. A deeper first lift with 1 1/2" crushed gravel helps manage that movement.

Estimating How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

Figuring out the tonnage starts with the area and the planned depth. A 1-ton load of crushed gravel covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. For an accurate estimate, use the material calculators on our site. Just enter your project dimensions and the calculator gives you the tons required.
