Local Conditions in Dickinson and How They Affect Your Crushed Stone Project

Dickinson has about 39 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground matters. If the base is wet when you lay crushed stone, it can rut and shift before you get a chance to compact it.

About 190 days a year drop below freezing. That short work window means you need a crushed stone base deep enough to resist frost heave. Ground freezing in Stark County is deep and long, so a 12-inch base is common for driveways instead of the usual 6 to 8 inches. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Snowfall runs about 39 inches a year. Plowing a shallow crushed stone surface can push the stone aside, so a compacted 3/4 inch or larger stone is a better choice for driveways. Stark County permitted about 27 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to new construction. For new build foundations and slab bases, crushed stone is the standard subbase material.

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. To get an accurate estimate, measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet. Enter those numbers into our crushed stone calculator to get the tonnage. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste, so you order the right amount the first time.
