Choosing Crushed Stone for Common Projects

The table below matches typical Sturgis projects to the crushed stone size that works best.

How Sturgis Weather Affects Your Crushed Stone Base

Sturgis has about 140 days a year when temperatures drop below 32F. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Annual snowfall is about 41 inches, so plowing can damage a loose surface if the base is not compacted.

There are about 79 wet days a year, meaning at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls often. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground becomes important to avoid the truck sinking. Frost penetrates deeply and long, so the base must be deep enough to resist heave in spring.
