How New Braunfels weather affects your gravel and rock job

New Braunfels gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning should be part of your project. With about 46 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is something to plan for.

About 20 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing is not a significant factor here. The ground around New Braunfels takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.

Frequently asked questions about gravel and rock in New Braunfels

Does the length of the freeze season in New Braunfels change what I should order?

Not much. About 20 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing is not a significant factor here. That means the base depth is not driven by frost heave the way it is in colder climates.

Is New Braunfels a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Yes. With about 35 inches of precipitation a year, washout is a real concern. A deeper drainage layer helps manage the water that the slow-absorbing soil sheds across the surface.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Smaller angular stone like decomposed granite and crusher run compacts into a firm surface. Larger rounded stone like river rock does not lock together.

Do I need landscape fabric under it?

It helps with weed suppression and separation. For decorative layers, fabric reduces weed growth over time. For base layers, it keeps the stone from mixing with the soil below.
