Crushed Gravel in Cadet
The work season for crushed gravel in Cadet runs from spring through fall. Cadet sees about 104 freezing days a year, which limits when you can work the ground.
Plan your project for the warmer months. Crushed gravel is the go-to material for driveways, roads, and pads. It compacts well and handles drainage in the local soils.
Crushed Gravel Sizes for Your Cadet Project
The most ordered crushed gravel size in Cadet is 3/4-inch Crushed Gravel. It works for base layers, driveways, and general fill. Here are the sizes we deliver:
| Product | What it's for | Note |

| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | The standard choice for driveways and base courses with good compaction. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Used beneath heavy loads like equipment or vehicles on soft ground. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | First lift over soft subgrade to separate and support the base. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Mud control for construction entrances or deep fill in saturated areas. |
Choosing the Right Crushed Gravel for Your Job

| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact to a firm, level surface before adding top material. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to bridge the soft layer and prevent mixing. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Thin compacted layer for a level and solid foundation. |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Use for drainage and fill in wet areas. |
How Cadet's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Gravel Project
Soils mapped in the Cadet area are commonly well drained. This usually means you need less base stone under the surface layer compared to clay-heavy areas. Standard base depth is often enough, but check your specific site.
The ground around Cadet is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for drainage, so you do not need extra sub-base in most cases.
Cadet gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning matter, especially for slopes. About 104 days a year drop below 32F, so freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. About 9 inches of snow falls annually, and plowing can damage a loose surface, so plan for a compacted top layer.
