The construction season around Fort Gratiot is short. About 140 days each year drop below 32F, which limits the window for laying walkway gravel to the warmer months.
Planning ahead for that short season means you can get the walkway done before frost returns. The ground freeze is deep and long, so preparing the base early pays off.

Fort Gratiot's climate and soil and what it means for walkway gravel
Fort Gratiot gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for a gravel walkway. The ground freeze here is deep and long, which calls for a deeper base layer under the surface gravel.
Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids problems. Snowfall adds about 36 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface if the gravel is not well compacted. Soils in the Fort Gratiot area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so the amount of base stone under the surface layer may need to be adjusted. The ground around Fort Gratiot is in dual hydrologic group C/D; where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, and where it is not, it takes water in very slowly. Drainage matters more here than elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions about walkway gravel delivery in Fort Gratiot
How many wet days a year should I plan a walkway gravel delivery around in Fort Gratiot?
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery around these wet days by choosing a dry stretch. Scheduling onto firm ground avoids the truck sinking or compacting the base.
Does the ground in Fort Gratiot freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes, the ground freeze is deep and long. With about 140 days a year below freezing, the soft spring thaw is the right time to lay gravel. Laying it when the ground is still frozen can cause shifting when it thaws.
How far in advance should I order?
Order at least 3 business days before your desired delivery date. This allows time for scheduling and confirmation.
Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?
No, you or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. If no one is there, a redelivery fee may apply.
