How Montezuma's Climate Affects Your Driveway Gravel

Montezuma gets about 38 inches of precipitation a year, so you should plan for drainage and washout. The area sees about 68 wet days annually, which makes scheduling delivery onto firm ground important. About 144 days drop below freezing, and about 30 inches of snow falls each winter, so plowing can damage a loose gravel surface. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Soils mapped in the Montezuma area are commonly moderately well drained, so additional base stone may be needed under the surface layer. The ground around Montezuma is in hydrologic group C, meaning water seeps in slowly and a fair amount runs across the surface. This supports the need for a deeper drainage layer to direct water away from the driveway.
