Weather and Soil Conditions Affecting Driveway Gravel in South Dakota

Across the cities we deliver to in South Dakota, annual precipitation ranges from about 20 to 29 inches. Freezing temperatures occur for 157 to 181 days per year. Most of the state lies in the severe frost band. This combination of freeze-thaw cycles and moderate rainfall means that driveway gravel needs a strong base to resist shifting.

Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. The dominant soil types are hydrologic groups C and B, which have moderate to slow infiltration. A deeper base of larger gravel, such as 1 1/2 inch or 2 to 3 inch material, helps spread the load and prevent frost heave.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation runs a spring load-restriction program that limits heavy truck traffic during thawing periods.
