Local Conditions That Affect Your Gravel Job in Sullivan

Sullivan gets about 44 inches of rain a year, so drainage is critical for any gravel surface. The soil in the area is commonly moderately well drained, but the ground around Sullivan takes water in very slowly, most rain runs across the surface. That means a deeper base layer is needed to prevent water from undermining the surface.

With about 103 freezing days a year, the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. That extra base stone keeps the surface from heaving and cracking. Planning your project around these conditions helps your gravel and rock last longer.
