Taylorville Weather and Soil Conditions That Matter for Topsoil

Freezing days here run about 114 days a year below 32F. That long cold season shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Ground freezing is deep and long, so the surface layer heaves and settles each winter. You need deeper topsoil to account for that settling and to keep the finished grade level.

Soils mapped in the Taylorville area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the spot. Ground around Taylorville is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Because drainage depends on local drainage improvements, a deeper topsoil layer and a graded base matter more here than elsewhere.

About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your topsoil delivery onto firm ground avoids a muddy mess that compacts under the truck. Snowfall averages about 14 inches a year, so plowing can damage a loose topsoil surface if the ground freezes after delivery.
