How Berrien Springs Weather Affects Your Crushed Gravel

Berrien Springs gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so crushed gravel surfaces need a base layer that handles water. The ground around Berrien Springs soaks water up quickly, which means you may need less drainage stone under the surface layer.

About 83 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which affects when you can schedule a delivery onto firm ground. About 127 days a year drop below freezing, so the work window for installing crushed gravel is limited to the warmer months. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Snowfall here averages about 64 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose crushed gravel surface if the base is not compacted well. Deep and long ground freezing means the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave. Soils mapped in the Berrien Springs area are commonly well drained, so you can adjust the base stone depth accordingly.

Estimating Your Crushed Gravel Tonnage

To figure out how many tons of crushed gravel you need, multiply the length, width and depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to get an exact number for your project.
