Choosing the Right Crushed Gravel Size for Your Yorktown Project
Not all crushed gravel products work for every job. Each size has limits. Match the product to your subgrade and expected use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for walkways and patios | Fines-rich material that locks together for a smooth surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well to support heavy traffic; needs proper drainage. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Angular rocks interlock to spread weight over soft ground. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Larger pieces bridge soft spots; top with a finer layer for a smooth finish. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Big rocks build a stable working surface in wet areas. Use as a base or topping. |

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job in Yorktown
Soils mapped in the Yorktown area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the crushed gravel than in areas with clay soils. The ground around Yorktown is in hydrologic group A, so it soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, less drainage stone is required beneath the gravel.
Yorktown receives about 51 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning are important for a gravel surface to last. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. About 64 days a year drop below 32F. These freeze-thaw cycles can shift the ground, so the base should be designed to accommodate some movement.
The county sees about 4 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can rut it, but proper compaction helps. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need to be as deep as in colder regions.
