ShopDriveway Gravel in Bemidji
Building a new driveway or fixing an old one in Bemidji starts with picking the right gravel size for the job. Bemidji gets about 27 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important for any driveway surface.
You can choose a smooth top dressing like 3/8" Driveway Gravel or a sturdy base like 1 1/2" Driveway Gravel depending on traffic and ground conditions. The right choice keeps the driveway stable for years.

Local Climate and Ground Conditions in Bemidji
Precipitation in Bemidji affects how water drains from a gravel surface. About 187 days a year drop below freezing, which means the ground freezes for a significant part of the year and can heave when it thaws.
Snowfall of about 49 inches can cause wear from plowing, so a well-compacted top layer is important. Ground freezing here is deep and long, and that affects how deep the base layer should be to prevent frost heave. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
