How Cohasset's Climate Affects Your Topsoil

The freeze cycle in Cohasset is long. About 187 days a year drop below 32F. When the ground freezes deep and stays frozen, any topsoil placed on a poor base will heave and settle unevenly after thaw. That is why drainage and a stable subgrade matter here more than in warmer places.

Soils mapped in the Cohasset area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Where the ground is drained, water soaks in quickly and stays put. Where it is not drained, most rain runs off instead of soaking in. Adding topsoil over a poorly drained base can create a wet layer that washes out or turns to mud. A layer of base stone under the topsoil helps manage that.

Snowfall here averages about 56 inches a year. Snow plowing can scrape or rut a loose topsoil surface if the ground is not frozen. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.

How Much Topsoil You Need

One ton of topsoil covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. To figure your own number, measure the area and decide the depth. Use the material calculators on our site to convert length, width and depth into tons. Then you can order the right amount in one drop.
