The table below matches five typical projects with the crushed stone size that best suits them. Each project uses a standard depth range for the base layer.

How Fredericksburg Weather and Soil Affect Crushed Stone Jobs

Fredericksburg gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning matter for any exposed stone surface, especially around the foundation. About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can affect scheduling the delivery onto firm ground. About 93 days a year drop below 32F. The number of freeze-thaw cycles determines how much the ground moves and whether the base depth is adequate.

The ground around Fredericksburg is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. It depends on drainage. Soils mapped in the Fredericksburg area are commonly poorly drained. This area guidance suggests that more base stone may be needed under the surface layer to keep the structure stable. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Tonnage depends on the area you are covering, the depth of the layer, and the specific gravity of the stone. You can get a solid estimate by plugging your project measurements into the crushed stone calculator on the Gravel Monkey site. It works for any of the crushed stone sizes listed above.
