How Marengo Weather and Soil Affect Your Gravel Project

Marengo sees about 128 days a year with temperatures below 32F. The ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. An unsettled base can shift, causing uneven surfaces. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

With about 26 inches of snow a year, plowing can damage a loose surface. A compacted base is important for driveways and paths. Marengo gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. Gravel and rock that drain well hold up better.

The soil around Marengo is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds some across the surface. Where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly and most rain runs off. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, depending on your site's drainage. This is area guidance, not your own soil.
