Local Conditions That Affect Your Driveway in Otsego County
Otsego County gets about 92 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your delivery when the ground is firm matters.
About 160 days a year drop below 32°F. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The ground freezing is deep and long, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be.
Snowfall averages about 79 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose gravel surface. The ground around the county takes in water slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place.
