Probably not.  Reasons being: It's been sitting since Dec with the #1 washed stone (the #1s are 98% compacted when placed), the base beneath the washed stone is so hard and compacted that we feel good with how compacted it is.

True...we only got about 75 here, normal is 120+. We did have a lot of freeze/thaw cycles this winter, which I think helps settle things. I have kept an eye on the trench and never saw any puddles or ponding anywhere around area, that is a good sign for the drainage.

I think we will be fine with the way it sets now.
