How Caruthersville's Climate Affects Your Crushed Concrete Project

Caruthersville sees about 71 freezing days a year, which means the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A proper base depth keeps movement from damaging the surface.

About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because wet soil is harder to work and compact properly.

Soils mapped in the Caruthersville area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from undermining the aggregate. Ground around Caruthersville is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, though it depends on your site's drainage.

Estimating Your Crushed Concrete Tonnage

To figure out how many tons of crushed concrete you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide on the depth in inches. Multiply those numbers, then divide by the cubic feet per ton for your chosen size. Use our material calculators to get an exact number for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Concrete in Caruthersville

When is the best time of year to order crushed concrete in Caruthersville?

Late spring through early fall is typically the best time. About 71 days a year drop below freezing, and working with loose material in cold weather is harder. The ground is more stable and compaction is easier in warmer months.

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

The number of tons you need depends on the area and depth. Because Caruthersville gets about 52 inches of rain a year, a deeper base may be needed to handle drainage, which increases the tonnage. Use our material calculators to find the right amount for your project.
