Duncannon's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job

Soils mapped in the Duncannon area are commonly well drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your exact spot. Ground around Duncannon is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. That usually makes a standard base depth enough. Duncannon sees about 111 days a year below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

About 28 inches of snow a year means plowing can damage a loose surface. A well-compacted top layer helps prevent that. The moderate frost depth here means the base layer does not need to be extra deep, but getting compaction right before the ground freezes matters.
