The ground around Linden is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer under the gravel important. With about 50 inches of precipitation a year, rain drives that need. A first lift of coarse stone under the top layer handles both water and load.
About 64 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery when the ground is firm matters. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A solid base resists the movement that freeze-thaw causes.

Yes, if a snowfall occurs. Linden averages about 1 inch of snowfall a year, but even light snow can soften the ground or make access difficult. Delivery may be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe. Gravel Monkey will keep you updated on any changes.
Yes. Ground freezing is real but moderate in Linden. That means base layers need to be deep enough to resist the movement that freezing causes. Ordering in spring or fall, when the ground is not frozen, gives the best results.
Yes. A contractor can place an order and have it delivered to the job site. The phone number and proof-of-delivery contact must be arranged at checkout. If the contractor is not present, the customer needs to be available.
Depth depends on the base condition and traffic. For a new driveway, plan a base of 8 to 12 inches of coarse gravel topped with 2 to 3 inches of finer gravel. For resurfacing, 2 to 3 inches of compactible gravel on a solid base is typical. Use the driveway gravel calculator to estimate the tonnage for your planned depth.
