Deer River Climate and Ground Conditions Matter for Your Gravel Job

Deer River experiences about 60 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That affects scheduling delivery onto firm ground. The county also sees about 187 freezing days per year, which means the ground moves as it thaws. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Snowfall averages about 49 inches a year, which can cause plowing damage to loose surfaces. Frost is deep and long, increasing the needed base depth. Soils mapped in the Deer River area are commonly very poorly drained, so more or less base stone under the surface layer is area guidance. The ground around Deer River is in dual hydrologic group A/D; where it is drained it soaks water quickly, where not it produces surface runoff. That depends on drainage, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
