Macedon lies in western Wayne County along the Erie Canal, inside the Finger Lakes drumlin field east of Rochester. Soils across the town's commercial corridors along Route 31 and the NYS Thruway interchange are predominantly Honeoye silt loam and Lima silt loam on the drumlin flanks, with Palmyra gravelly loam on the outwash benches and Canandaigua silty clay loam and Wayland silt loam in the low ground along the canal and Mud Creek.
The Erie Canal and its feeder channels control drainage across the northern half of the town, and any earthwork inside or adjacent to the canal prism triggers NYS Canal Corp review. Commercial excavation in Macedon typically involves cobbly, stony trenching on the drumlins, structural fill importation on the clay-loam flats, and stormwater design tied to the Ganargua Creek and Genesee River watershed. Shallow bedrock appears only on the highest drumlin summits. Frost depth is moderate by regional standards, reflecting the transition between lake-moderated and interior climate zones.
