Buy Crushed Gravel in Rice Lake, Wisconsin

Crushed gravel and crushed stone are both crushed and angular. The difference is the source: crushed gravel comes from alluvial deposits, while crushed stone is quarried. For compacted bases and driveways, crushed gravel's blend of fines and angular rock creates a dense surface.

Rice Lake gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important. The angular particles interlock well to resist shifting in moderate rainfall.

Crushed Gravel Products for Rice Lake Projects

Each crushed gravel size serves a different compaction and load-bearing role. The smallest particles bind tightly but do not support truck traffic; the largest drain well but leave a rough surface. For most driveways and base layers, the 3/4 inch size is the starting point.

Rice Lake Weather and Soil Conditions for Crushed Gravel

Rice Lake sees about 173 freezing days a year, which limits the work season and causes ground movement. Annual snowfall of about 52 inches means a loose gravel surface can be damaged by plowing. A compacted angular base resists that wear.

Soils in the area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, so less base stone may be needed under the surface. The ground is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and reduces runoff, further cutting the need for drainage stone. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
