Livingston's Climate and Soil Matter for Walkway Gravel

Livingston experiences about 178 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That means the ground freezes deeply and stays frozen for months. A walkway base must be deep enough to resist heaving when the thaw comes.

About 82 inches of snow falls annually. Plowing can push loose gravel aside, so a well-compacted surface and edge restraint help. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot.

The area gets about 17 inches of precipitation a year, which is moderate. Soils mapped in the Livingston area are commonly well drained, and the ground takes in water at a moderate rate. A standard base depth is usually enough to handle runoff.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walkway Gravel in Livingston
