What to order for common Georgetown projects

Each project has a best material. Use this guide to choose.

Georgetown's climate and soil affect your base

Soils mapped in the Georgetown area are commonly moderately well drained. That means more base stone may be needed under the surface layer to prevent settling. The ground around Georgetown also sits in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface.

About 72 days a year drop below 32F, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Snowfall averages about 10 inches a year, so plowing can damage a loose surface.

Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deeper to resist frost heave. Plan accordingly for any paved or compacted surface.
