Help me think through this please. Don't deal with frozen ground a lot and haven't spread tons of gravel definitely not this large. I need to get gravel down on my mill site. If has been a little wet so I have been stalled out, now the ground is frozen pretty good and it probably won't thaw much for the next week. My goal is to get some 2-3" chunks of crushed concrete down, I plan on using geotextlie material under it entire area. It seems to me that this is a blessing. My main question is how will it act when it thaws? I won't be able to really pack it well and build my mill base on it until we get a good thaw in a week, which is a bummer. The dirt was moist but pretty hard when it started t freeze. Anything I should be aware of putting gravel over frozen ground.
Edited to add:
This is for my new sawmill site that will have a 6x6 pressere treated base. It is not going to be a house or shop of anything. But I obviously still want it pretty well packed.
