Winter months in New York can limit installation and spreading, and very wet periods may also delay work.

For slopes, choose well-graded, angular materials that encourage drainage and resist movement, and combine them with proper drainage features like French drains or swales.

Consult a professional for steep slopes or significant runoff to ensure long-term stability.

When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction and grading, or contact our team for help with your measurement.
