Each driveway project has a different goal. The table below matches common problems with the gravel size and depth that typically works.

Local Conditions in Mc Arthur That Affect Your Driveway Gravel

About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which makes scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important. The ground also freezes on roughly 124 days a year, so a well-compacted base is needed to stop frost heave from shifting the surface.

Soils mapped in the Mc Arthur area are commonly moderately well drained. The ground around Mc Arthur is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under the top gravel. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Mc Arthur gets about 18 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing can disturb a loose gravel surface, so choosing a size that locks together, like 3/4 inch or 1 inch, helps keep the driveway intact after snow removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mc Arthur wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Soils in the Mc Arthur area are commonly moderately well drained, which means water percolates at a moderate rate. A deeper drainage layer of larger gravel helps prevent washout and keeps the surface stable.

Does the length of the freeze season in Mc Arthur change what I should order?

Yes. About 124 days a year drop below freezing, so frost heave can move an unprepared base. A compacted layer of at least 6 inches of base gravel reduces movement.

What is this material not suitable for?

Driveway gravel is not suitable for high-traffic commercial areas or for applications requiring a smooth, hard surface like asphalt or concrete. It also does not work well on steep slopes without proper retention.

What is the difference between the sizes of driveway gravel you stock?

The sizes range from a fine 3/8 inch for comfortable walking to 2-3 inch stones for heavy mud control. Smaller sizes lock together for a stable surface, while larger sizes provide drainage and support.
