Buy Crushed Stone in Xenia, Ohio

Weather and Soil Conditions Affecting Crushed Stone Use in Xenia

Xenia sees about 85 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery for dry weather helps keep the ground firm enough for the truck and the material.

With roughly 107 days below freezing and about 20 inches of snowfall each year, the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Plowing can also disturb a loose crushed stone surface, so plan the timing of your final layer.

Soils mapped in the Xenia area are commonly well drained. The ground takes water in at a moderate rate, which means a standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Xenia

Does the ground in Xenia freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

Yes. Xenia has about 107 days each year when the temperature drops below freezing. That amount of freeze-thaw can push and shift loose material, so it is best to schedule delivery and installation when the ground is not frozen.

Does the soil around Xenia change how much crushed stone I need?

The soil in the Xenia area takes in water at a moderate rate. That usually means a standard base depth will work for most projects without needing extra stone for drainage.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Angular crushed stone interlocks better than round stone, but smaller sizes like 3/8 inch compact more tightly than larger sizes. A mix of sizes, like in 3/4 inch crushed stone, gives the best compaction.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

The 3/4 inch crushed stone is the most common size for general use. It works for driveways, bases, and drainage, and it compacts well.
