Below are five common projects and the crushed stone sizes that suit them. Depth depends on the soil conditions and the load the surface will carry.

How North Branch Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Work

North Branch gets about 52 inches of snow a year, which means plowing can damage a loose surface if the stone is not compacted well. About 169 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezes deep and long here. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A deeper base of crushed stone helps resist frost heave.

Soils mapped in the North Branch area are commonly moderately well drained, but the ground around the city is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Because of this, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. About 64 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is wise.

Chisago County permitted about 233 single-family homes in 2024, many of which need base stone for driveways, patios, and walkways. That new construction demand means crushed stone is a common delivery item in the area.

Figuring Out How Much Crushed Stone You Need

The key number is the depth of the layer. For a typical driveway base, 4 to 6 inches is common, but in North Branch the deep frost may call for 8 inches or more under heavy loads. Use our crushed stone calculator to convert your project area and depth into tons.
