Why Burlington's climate affects your topsoil choice
Burlington sees about 122 days a year below freezing. That compresses the work window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.
The area gets about 20 inches of snow annually. Snowplowing can scour a loose topsoil surface, so wait until the ground has thawed and dried before spreading.
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. The ground around Burlington takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Estimating how much topsoil you need
Topsoil is sold by the ton. The volume you need depends on the area and depth. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to convert square footage and depth into tons before you order.
