Local Conditions That Affect Driveway Gravel in Shelbyville

The ground around Shelbyville is in hydrologic group C, meaning water soaks in slowly and much of it runs off the surface. That points to a deeper drainage layer. About 58 inches of rain a year and 87 wet days mean washout is a real risk on shallow gravel, and your delivery should go onto firm ground.

About 79 days a year drop below 32F, so freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall averages only 1 inch a year, but plowing can damage a loose surface if the gravel is not well compacted.
