Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. That is the time to plan a gravel order and reinforce the surface before it softens.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Driveway

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Nevis gets about 48 inches of snow a year, so plowing can damage a loose surface. Schedule your delivery onto firm ground before the heavy snow arrives.

Soils mapped in the Nevis area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means less base stone may be needed for drainage, but the deep frost still requires a solid foundation. Ground around Nevis is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface.

About 186 days a year drop below 32F. The work window is short, and ground heave can affect the driveway. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be deeper than in milder areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nevis a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Nevis gets about 27 inches of precipitation a year, but the ground soaks it up quickly. Hydrologic group A means the soil produces little runoff. Washout is less of a concern than in areas with heavy clay.

Do winter conditions in Nevis affect delivery?

About 186 days a year drop below 32F, so winter weather can delay delivery. The truck needs a clear, firm surface for access. Snow and ice may require plowing before the load arrives.

How do I know how deep to go?

Depth depends on use and frost line. In Nevis, ground freezing is deep and long, so a base layer of 6 to 12 inches is typical for driveways. Use our driveway gravel calculator to estimate tonnage based on the depth you need.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. The driver unloads as close to the requested spot as safe. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they can.
