How Kenton's climate affects your topsoil job
Kenton sees about 101 days each year where the temperature drops below freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, so a proper topsoil layer and drainage matter.
Soils mapped in the Kenton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means more base stone may be needed under the topsoil to keep water moving away from the surface.
The ground around Kenton 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 drained, it takes water in very slowly. So drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
