Lockport Weather and How It Affects Your Driveway

Lockport sees about 92 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means you should plan to schedule the delivery onto firm, dry ground to avoid the truck sinking or compacting wet soil. Proper drainage in your driveway design will also reduce washout during heavy rains.

About 132 days a year drop below freezing, which shortens the working season for installing gravel. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. With roughly 72 inches of snowfall annually, plowing can damage a loose gravel surface, so a well-compacted top layer holds up better under the blade.

Ground freezing in Lockport is moderate but real, which means a deeper base layer of 6 to 8 inches of larger stone helps prevent frost heave from ruining the surface. Plan your project for late spring or early fall when the ground is stable.
