Zachary Climate and Soil for Topsoil Projects
Soils mapped in the Zachary area are commonly poorly drained. This means you may need more base stone under the topsoil layer to keep the surface from staying wet. Plan for deeper drainage improvements than in well-drained areas.
The ground around Zachary 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 most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.
About 20 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window slightly, and about 77 days bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
