Buy Crushed Stone in Alpine, Texas

Crushed stone is often confused with crushed gravel. Both are angular, but the difference lies in the parent rock and the grading. Crushed stone comes from hard rock quarries, while crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits.

In Alpine, the ground takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base layer matter more here than elsewhere.

Alpine's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Alpine gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important. With about 34 days that bring measurable rain, you want to schedule your delivery onto firm ground.

Freezing temperatures occur about 59 days a year, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Snowfall averages about 2 inches, so plowing can damage a loose surface. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, meaning the base layer does not need to be as deep as in colder climates.
