How Terre Haute's Climate and Soil Affect Topsoil Use

Terre Haute gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning are important when grading with topsoil. There are about 77 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.

With about 111 freezing days annually, the ground freezes and thaws, affecting when the ground is workable and how much it settles. Snowfall of about 15 inches a year can cause plowing damage to a loose topsoil surface if applied before winter. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.

Soils mapped in the Terre Haute area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Terre Haute soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface.
