How Lexington Park's Climate and Soil Affect Your Topsoil Order

Lexington Park gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage is part of any topsoil project. Excess rain can saturate a loose topsoil layer if the ground below does not drain well, which is why many local jobs include a base of coarse material under the topsoil.

About 69 days a year drop below freezing, which means the ground can be workable for much of the year but may freeze and thaw in the colder months. The season for most topsoil work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause some settling, so final grading after winter is worth considering.

Soils mapped in the Lexington Park area are commonly poorly drained. The ground around here falls into dual hydrologic group B/D; where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate, but where it is not drained most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in many other areas.

Estimating How Much Topsoil You Need for Your Lexington Park Property

Topsoil is sold by the ton. To figure out how many tons you need, multiply the area in square feet by the depth in feet, then divide by the cubic feet per ton. Our material calculators do that math for you if you enter your project dimensions and the depth you plan to use.
