Local Conditions That Affect Your Fill Dirt Project in Caruthersville

Caruthersville receives about 52 inches of precipitation annually. That much rain makes drainage a key consideration for any fill dirt project. About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps avoid a muddy worksite.

The area sees about 71 days below freezing each year. That limits the work window because frozen ground is hard to work with. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. Thawing and freezing can also cause ground movement that affects fill settling.

Soils mapped in the Caruthersville area are commonly poorly drained. The ground 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, most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. The exact approach depends on whether your site is drained or not.
