Missouri climate and soil conditions for topsoil

Across the Missouri cities Gravel Monkey delivers to, annual rainfall runs from 42 to 48 inches. This means that topsoil can stay moist or even wet for extended periods in the wetter parts of the state. The number of freezing days ranges from about 95 to 117, depending on location, so the ground can be frozen for a significant portion of the winter. Most of the state falls in the moderate band for ground freezing, which affects how early you can work the soil in spring.

The soils in most of the served areas belong to hydrologic groups C and D. These soils drain more slowly, so a deeper layer of topsoil may be needed to improve drainage and provide good root depth. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
