How Farmington's Climate and Soil Affect Your Gravel and Rock Job

Farmington gets about 8 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. The ground around the city is commonly mapped as somewhat excessively drained soil, meaning water moves through it quickly. That reduces the need for extra base stone under your surface layer, but you still want a stable foundation if the area sees traffic.

Only about 25 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling around wet ground is straightforward. But the freeze-thaw cycle is real: about 149 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Snowfall averages about 8 inches a year, which can mean plowing damage to a loose surface. The ground around Farmington is in hydrologic group A, which soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff. This behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the surface, but the freeze-thaw still requires a solid base. Plan your work window when the ground is firm and dry.

Estimating How Much Gravel or Rock You Need

To figure the tonnage, measure the length and width of your area in feet and the depth in inches. Use our material calculators to convert those numbers to tons. The calculator also accounts for compaction, so you order the right amount the first time.
