Somerville Climate and Soil Conditions for Driveway Gravel

Somerville is a small city in Burleson County, which permitted about 40 new homes in 2024. Many of those lots need new driveways and gravel access.

The local climate matters. Somerville gets about 44 inches of rain a year, so drainage and washout planning are key. About 55 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which affects scheduling deliveries onto firm ground. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. On average, about 18 days a year drop below freezing, and ground movement can shift a thin layer.

Soils in the Somerville area are commonly moderately well drained. The ground takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base are more important here than in places where water soaks in faster.

How Much Driveway Gravel You Need for Your Somerville Project

To estimate your tonnage, measure the area and depth. A cubic yard of driveway gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, but the exact number depends on stone size and moisture. Use our driveway gravel calculator to get a figure based on your measurements. Once you have the number, order online by the ton.
