Stanton's Climate and What It Means for Crushed Stone

Stanton gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important when you place crushed stone. With about 76 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters to avoid a muddy mess.

About 148 days a year drop below freezing. That means the work window for base work is shorter, and the ground can move a lot when it freezes and thaws. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The ground freezes deep and long here, so base layers need to be deep enough to resist frost heave.

About 64 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can damage a loose crushed stone surface if it is not compacted well. The soil around Stanton takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place under your stone.
