Wildwood's Climate and Its Effect on Your Gravel and Rock

With about 76 wet days a year, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids deep ruts from the truck. The 45 inches of annual precipitation also means that open-graded materials such as drain rock or river rock perform better in areas where water needs to move through.

About 72 days a year drop below freezing. The ground moves enough to unsettle a poorly compacted base. That is why compaction is worth the extra pass. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The 15 inches of annual snowfall means plowing can damage a loose surface, so a well-compacted top layer helps keep the aggregate where you placed it.

Cape May County permitted about 660 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to new construction sites needing base material that holds up through freeze-thaw cycles. The moderate ground freezing here means a base layer that is thick enough to prevent movement, such as crusher run or road base, is essential for lasting results.

• Crushed Gravel - Angular stone that locks together for stable driveways and pads.

• Sand - Fills joints between pavers or mixes with gravel to improve compaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. The 72 freezing days a year mean that materials with good compaction, like crusher run or decomposed granite, resist shifting better than loose pea gravel. A well-compacted base reduces movement when the ground freezes and thaws.

Is Wildwood wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. With about 45 inches of precipitation a year, drainage is a primary concern. Open-graded materials like drain rock or river rock allow water to pass through, while compacted fines can trap moisture.

What size gravel and rock should I choose?

The size depends on the project. Small, rounded material like 3/8-inch pea gravel suits paths and play areas. Larger stone, such as 2-4 inch river rock, works for erosion control and dry creek beds. Compactable blends like crusher run are best under patios and driveways.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes, Gravel Monkey offers $50 off your first order. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout. Terms apply.
