Crushed Gravel we deliver in Union
Crushed Gravel in Union
Union gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when scheduling crushed gravel work. The typical construction season runs from spring through fall, with most base work done before the wetter winter months.
About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid delays and ensures the material compacts properly.

Local conditions that affect crushed gravel in Union
Union averages about 45 inches of rainfall a year, so drainage and washout are the main factors in how long a crushed gravel surface lasts. About 76 days a year drop below 32F, but the ground does not freeze deeply enough to cause significant heave. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
Soils mapped in the Union area are commonly well drained, which typically requires less base stone under the surface layer than heavier clay soils. The ground around Union is in hydrologic group B, taking water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough. This is area guidance; your specific soil conditions may differ.

Frequently asked questions about crushed gravel in Union
Does the soil around Union change how much crushed gravel I need?
Soils mapped in the Union area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone than on heavy clay. The ground takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually adequate.
What is the smallest load of crushed gravel you deliver to Union?
Snowfall in Union averages about 2 inches a year. Winter plowing can disturb a loose crushed gravel surface, so consider a compacted base layer. The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton.
Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?
No. You agree to be available, or to have someone you nominate at the site, during the delivery window. The driver needs someone to direct the truck to the exact drop spot and to approve the load.
What is the difference between the sizes you stock?
Each size serves a different purpose. 3/8" is for surface layers, 3/4" is the all-purpose base, 1"-1 1/2" is for structural base, 1 1/2" is for soft subgrade, and 2"-3" is for mud control and deep fill. The right size depends on your project and traffic.
