Caddo Mills Climate and Soil Considerations for Crushed Stone

Caddo Mills receives about 42 inches of precipitation each year, spread across about 54 days with measurable rain. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid compaction issues. The area also sees about 46 days a year below freezing, which affects the work window for installation.

Snowfall averages zero inches, so plow damage to a loose surface is not a concern here. The ground freezes but only moderately, which influences how deep your base layer needs to be. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Soils in the Caddo Mills area are commonly moderately well drained. However, the ground is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly and most rain runs across the surface. This behavior makes drainage and a deeper base more important than in other areas.
