Belmont Weather and Ground Conditions
Belmont gets about 88 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. If the site is too wet, the truck can rut the driveway before the stone goes down. Plan for a dry spell.
About 111 days a year drop below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground freezing here is real but moderate, and how deep the base layer needs to be depends on that frost penetration.
Snowfall averages about 17 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose surface if the gravel is not compacted, so plan on a firm final surface. The ground around Belmont is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer important for any gravel surface that needs to stay firm.
How Much Crushed Gravel You Need
To estimate how many tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the area length and width in feet and multiply by the depth in inches. Then divide by 12 to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, and multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to get a precise number.
