How Free Soil Weather Affects Your Gravel Choice

Free Soil gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. Soils in the area are commonly in hydrologic group A, meaning they soak water up quickly and produce little runoff. That means you may need less drainage stone under a surface layer than you would on heavier ground. Still, a base layer under any compacted path or driveway helps keep it stable.

About 151 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months, which limits the work season and can push a base layer to heave if it is not thick enough. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Plan deliveries for dry, firm ground and allow the material to settle before heavy use.

Snowfall averages about 92 inches each winter. A loose gravel surface can get pushed around by plowing, so a compacted top layer like decomposed granite or crusher run holds up better.

Ordering Gravel and Rock from Gravel Monkey

Choose a delivery date at least 3 business days out, then pick a morning or afternoon window. Someone must be at the site to accept the load, and the access road must be at least 12 feet wide. If the truck cannot get through or no one is present, a redelivery fee may apply. You get an email confirmation first, then a second email with a photo of the load before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gravel and Rock in Free Soil

Is Free Soil wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Free Soil gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, which is enough to make drainage important. A base layer of crusher run or drain rock under patios, paths and driveways will help the surface shed water and stay firm.

Does the length of the freeze season in Free Soil change what I should order?

Yes. With about 151 freezing days per year, the ground heaves and thaws deeply. A thicker base layer of road base or crusher run will resist frost heave better than a thin layer of decorative rock alone.

What size gravel and rock should I choose?

Size depends on use. For walking surfaces, 3/8-inch pea gravel or decomposed granite works well. For erosion control and dry creek beds, 2-to-4-inch river rock stays put. For base layers, crusher run or road base compacts into a solid foundation.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on your first order. The code applies to qualifying orders and cannot be combined with other offers.
