The table below shows which crushed stone size works for five typical projects in Schertz. Depth recommendations are based on local soil conditions.

Schertz Weather and Ground Conditions for Crushed Stone

Schertz gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout need to be part of your plan. The ground in the Schertz area is mapped in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place here.

About 46 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids problems. Since snowfall is about 0 inches a year, plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern.

Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. That makes the base layer and the stone size more important than freeze-thaw.

No. Ground freezing is not a significant factor here. You can order crushed stone any time the ground is dry enough to work.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For vehicle loads, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is typical. The exact depth depends on the subgrade and the weight.
