How Montrose's Climate Affects Your Gravel Driveway

Montrose gets about 41 inches of snowfall each year. Plowing can damage a loose gravel surface, so a well-compacted top layer is important to keep the driveway intact through the winter.

Ground freezing here is deep and long. That affects how deep the base layer needs to be to prevent heaving and cracking. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

With only about 11 inches of annual precipitation, drainage planning is still necessary to carry runoff away from the driveway and prevent washouts along the edges.
