How Greensboro's Climate Affects Fill Dirt Work
Greensboro gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout need to be part of your plan. About 78 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important.
With about 68 days a year dropping below 32F, the work window and ground movement are considerations. Snowfall is about 5 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is possible. However, ground freezing here is not a significant factor, which broadens the workable season. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season.
The ground around Greensboro takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This means a deeper drainage layer earns its place in your fill project.
