Which gravel and rock to use for common Covington projects

If you are tackling one of these common jobs, here is the right gravel or rock to order.

How Covington's weather and soil affect your gravel installation

Covington has about 85 wet days a year, which keeps the ground soft longer. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids stuck trucks and ruts. A compacted crusher-run base helps keep the surface stable in wet conditions.

About 126 days a year drop below 32F, and freeze-thaw cycles can unsettle a loose base. Snowfall of 18 inches a year means plowing can damage a loose surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Soils mapped in the Covington area are commonly excessively drained, so water moves through quickly. Ground around Covington soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer.
