Which Crushed Stone to Use for Common Jobs in Orr

Each project has a failure mode: washout, settlement, or frost heave. The table below matches the project to the crushed stone product that addresses that risk.

Orr Climate and Soil Conditions for Crushed Stone

Orr sees about 215 days a year below freezing. The ground moves more with each freeze-thaw cycle, so a well-compacted base is critical. The area also gets roughly 65 inches of snowfall annually, and plowing a loose surface can cause ruts if the base is thin.

Soils mapped in the Orr area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This means more base stone may be needed under the surface layer to keep water from sitting at the bottom of the gravel. The same ground is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds rain across the surface; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other places.

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. A properly sized crushed stone base handles this seasonal shift.

How many tons of crushed stone do I need for my project?
