How Aurora's Local Conditions Affect Your Crushed Gravel Installation

Aurora's climate and soil shape how you use crushed gravel. About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting. The area also sees about 111 days a year below freezing, and ground freezing here is deep and long. That freeze-thaw cycle means the base layer of crushed gravel needs to be thick enough to resist heaving.

Soils mapped in the Aurora area are commonly moderately well drained. That can mean you might need more base stone under the surface layer to handle moisture. The ground around Aurora is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place under your crushed gravel.

Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
