Local Conditions and Soil Behavior in Philadelphia
Philadelphia gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning are important when you add a permeable layer like topsoil over compacted subsoil.
The ground around Philadelphia takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. For that reason, a deeper drainage layer under lawns or beds earns its place. With about 81 days a year of measurable rain, scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters.
With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. About 59 freezing days a year affect how much the ground moves, but the workable window is wider than in colder regions.
