Blackfoot's Climate and What It Means for Your Walkway

Blackfoot sees about 162 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. That much freezing and thawing can shift a walkway if the base layer is not deep enough. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Snowfall averages about 30 inches a year, which means plowing a loose gravel surface can push it around. A well-compacted base and a surface gravel that holds its place help reduce damage.

Soils mapped in the Blackfoot area are commonly well drained. The ground is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth under the surface layer is usually enough. Frost penetration is deep and long here, so the base layer should be thick enough to prevent frost heave from moving the walkway.
