How Jackson's Climate and Soils Affect Your Driveway Gravel

Soils mapped in the Jackson area are commonly very poorly drained. That means water sits on the surface longer after rain, so you may need a thicker base of coarse stone to keep the driveway from turning into a muddy mess.

With about 81 wet days a year, the ground is often damp when you want to work on it. Schedule your delivery onto firm ground if possible. Winters bring about 111 freezing days, which can heave an unsettled base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Jackson sees about 27 inches of snowfall a year. Snowplows can scuff a loose surface, so a well-compacted, angular stone like 3/4-inch driveway gravel holds up better. The ground around Jackson is in dual hydrologic group A/D. Where it is drained it soaks water up quickly; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveway Gravel in Jackson

Does the length of the freeze season in Jackson change what I should order?

Yes, because with about 111 freezing days a year, the ground can heave. A thicker base of angular stone resists movement better. Compaction is especially important.

Is Jackson wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes, with about 52 inches of precipitation annually and poorly drained soils, drainage is a key factor. Larger gravel sizes allow water to pass through and reduce washout.

What is this material not suitable for?

Driveway gravel is not suitable for fine grading under patios or for play areas where a soft surface is needed. It is also not ideal for steep slopes unless bound with a stabilizer.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

For most Jackson driveways, 3/4-inch driveway gravel is the most common choice because it locks together well and handles traffic.
