Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Project

About 35 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery for a stretch of firm ground avoids the truck sinking or rutting your yard. The ground around Sweetwater is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place.

Freezing happens about 68 days a year below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs enough depth to resist heaving. Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year; plowing can damage a loose surface if the stone is not well compacted.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Sweetwater

How many tons of crushed stone do I need for my project?

Start by measuring the length and width of the area in feet, and decide on the depth in inches. Multiply length times width times depth, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. Use our crushed stone calculator for a precise number.
