Local Conditions That Affect Gravel and Rock Work in Rocky Ford

Rocky Ford averages about 29 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground reduces rutting and makes spreading easier.

Ground around Rocky Ford is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place for any gravel or rock surface that gets walked or driven on.

Freezing temperatures matter here. About 159 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezing is deep and long. That affects how deep the base layer needs to be to resist heave. About 17 inches of snowfall a year can lead to plowing damage on a loose surface. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
