Fairfax Climate and Ground Conditions That Affect Crushed Stone Use

Fairfax has about 99 days a year when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thicker base layer helps prevent frost heave from shifting your crushed stone surface.

Rainfall in Fairfax averages 46 inches per year. The ground around Fairfax is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That combination means a deeper drainage layer earns its place, especially under pavers and driveways.

Snowfall averages about 14 inches a year, so plowing can push loose crushed stone around if the surface is not compacted. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base depth should account for that. With about 77 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction problems.
