Across the cities we deliver to in Michigan, annual precipitation runs from about 33 to 38 inches. The number of days below freezing varies from about 130 to 179 per year, depending on location.
Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. The most common soil hydrologic groups are A and C/D, which means base depth guidance should account for both drainage and frost.
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 33 to 38 inches, and the number of freezing days ranges from about 130 to 179 per year. For projects on heavy soil or in high-freeze areas, a deeper base of crusher run or road base helps prevent frost heave and rutting.
Yes. MDOT runs a spring load-restriction program to protect roads during thaw. That can affect delivery timing in some areas, and we schedule around those restrictions. No specific dates are set from year to year.
We carry materials from small pea gravel (3/8 inch) to large river rock (2 to 4 inches). The size you need depends on the project: smaller stone for paths and beds, larger rock for erosion control and drainage.
