Local Conditions in Diamondhead That Affect Your Stone Job

Diamondhead sits in Hancock County, near the Gulf Coast. The area gets about 66 inches of rain a year, with about 74 days that bring at least a tenth of an inch. That many wet days means scheduling delivery onto firm ground is a practical step.

Only about 16 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and snowfall is basically zero at about 0 inches. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. The ground around Diamondhead 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. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. The soils mapped in the area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your specific spot.

How Much Gravel or Rock You Need

Measure the length and width of your area in feet, then multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons for most stone. Use our material calculators to get an exact number for your project.
