Local Conditions That Affect Your Driveway in Gaithersburg

Gaithersburg receives about 47 inches of precipitation annually, so washout and drainage are primary concerns for any driveway. With roughly 77 days each year recording at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is recommended.

Temperatures drop below freezing on about 95 days per year. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Soils mapped in the Gaithersburg area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, meaning the base layer may need to be deeper than in well-drained areas.

Ground around Gaithersburg is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This drainage behavior matters more here than elsewhere, and influences how much base stone goes under the surface layer.
