Different jobs call for different crushed stone sizes. The table below matches common Kirksville projects with the right product and a typical depth to guide your planning.

Kirksville Weather and Soil Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Kirksville receives about 42 inches of precipitation annually, with roughly 69 days a year bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain. This means drainage planning is critical to prevent washout, and scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting.

About 130 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. This shortens the work window for base installation and affects how deep the base layer needs to be to resist frost heave. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

Soils mapped in the Kirksville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Additionally, the ground around Kirksville takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means more or less base stone may be needed under the surface layer, and a deeper base matters more here than elsewhere.

Yes, we deliver crushed stone to Kirksville and all of Adair County. In 2024, Adair County permitted about 18 single-family homes, many of which used crushed stone for driveways and foundations.

How do I know how deep to go?

The depth depends on the project type and local conditions such as frost depth and soil drainage. For driveways, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches is common. Gravel Monkey can provide guidance based on your project details.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The dump truck needs a road or driveway at least 12 feet wide. The surface should be firm enough to support the weight of a loaded truck. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to your marker as safely possible.
