Brooklyn Weather and Sand Job Planning
Brooklyn gets about 47 inches of rain a year, so drainage and washout planning is important. With about 75 wet days a year, you should schedule your delivery for a dry spell to keep the ground firm for the truck.
About 67 days a year drop below freezing, which shortens the work window and causes ground movement. The 30 inches of annual snowfall can damage a loose surface from plowing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
