Buy Crushed Stone in Jacksonville, North Carolina

Crushed stone is often confused with crushed gravel. Both are angular, but crushed stone comes from quarried rock, while gravel is naturally rounded and then crushed. The grading also differs.

Jacksonville gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage matters for any crushed stone project, because water moves differently through angular particles than through rounded ones.

How Jacksonville Climate Affects Crushed Stone Jobs

Jacksonville gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. About 81 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important.

About 63 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window for outdoor aggregate jobs. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose crushed stone surface is a real concern.

Soils mapped in the Jacksonville area are commonly moderately well drained. That can mean more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on location. The ground around Jacksonville soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface.
