Which Crushed Concrete Product to Order for Common Matthews Projects

Each project needs a specific crushed concrete size and compacted depth. The table below maps common Matthews jobs to the right product.

Matthews Weather and Ground Conditions for Crushed Concrete

Matthews gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed concrete surface. The soils mapped in the Matthews area are commonly well drained, so less base stone may be needed under the surface layer compared to areas with clay soil. The ground around Matthews takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.

About 65 days a year drop below 32F. That sets the work window: spring through fall is the safest time to place and compact a crushed concrete layer. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Ground freezing in Matthews is not a significant factor, which means the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection.

Snowfall runs about 3 inches a year. That amount can cause plowing damage to a loose surface if the top layer is not compacted or sealed.
