Benson Climate and Soil for Fill Dirt

About 82 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you should schedule the delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting. About 76 days a year drop below 32F, so deliveries are best made when the ground is not frozen. Snowfall is about 2 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern.

Soils mapped in the Benson area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Benson is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the fill. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Does the soil around Benson change how much fill dirt I need?

The volume of fill dirt you need depends on the area and depth, not the soil type. However, with about 50 inches of rain a year, you should ensure the fill dirt is properly compacted and graded to shed water.

Do winter conditions in Benson affect delivery?

Benson has about 76 days a year below freezing and about 2 inches of snowfall. Schedule deliveries on days when the ground is firm and not frozen. The freezing days can make the ground soft when thawing, so choose dry periods.
