Goochland Weather and Ground Conditions
Goochland experiences about 110 days a year below freezing. This freeze cycle can cause ground movement if fill is not properly compacted. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Annual snowfall averages about 12 inches. Plowing after a snowstorm can damage a loose fill surface if you have not compacted it.
Soils mapped in the Goochland area are commonly well drained, which helps with stability. The ground around Goochland takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base preparation is usually enough.
