Common Topsoil Projects in Saint Louis

These five projects are the ones Saint Louis homeowners most often need topsoil for. The right depth and order amount depend on the area, and the table gives general guidance.

Saint Louis Weather and Your Topsoil Project

Saint Louis gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter when you spread new topsoil. A slope or perimeter channel can keep the soil where it belongs.

About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts and compaction. Wet soil is harder to spread evenly.

About 97 days a year drop below freezing, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves when it thaws. Snowfall of about 11 inches a year can cause plowing damage to a loose topsoil surface. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.

What is this material not suitable for?

Topsoil is not suitable for filling deep holes or raising grade where stability is needed. For those jobs, use fill dirt instead. Topsoil has organic matter that decomposes, so it settles more than a mineral fill.
