Built for Wayne County winters
Rochester averages about 102 inches of snow a year, with roughly 27 inches in January alone (National Weather Service normals for 1991 to 2020). That means months of plows, shovels, road salt, and water that melts in the afternoon and refreezes overnight. A driveway in Walworth goes through the same kind of freeze-thaw cycles, plows and salt, which is why every job here starts with the base and drainage, not the topcoat.
