Different projects need different crushed stone sizes. Here is what to order for common jobs in Potosi:

How Potosi's Climate Affects Your Crushed Stone Project

Freezing temperatures occur on about 104 days each year in Potosi. Snowfall averages 9 inches annually, and plowing can disturb a loose crushed stone surface. The workable season for installing a crushed stone base is during the warmer months. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

The ground around Potosi takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs off rather than soaking in. This means a crushed stone base needs to handle runoff without washing out, especially if it is used for areas that shed water. Using a crushed stone size that locks together, like 3/4-inch, helps the surface stay in place under runoff.

Ground freezing is real but moderate in Potosi, which influences how deep the base layer should be to avoid frost heave. A compacted base with proper depth resists the effects of freezing and thawing.
