How Prineville's Climate Affects Your Topsoil Job

Prineville gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, which means you need to plan for drainage and washout when you grade new topsoil. With about 29 wet days a year, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters.

About 174 days a year drop below freezing. That freeze-thaw can shift the ground, so the work window for spreading and grading is shortened to late spring through fall. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Snowfall of about 14 inches a year can damage a loose topsoil surface if plowed too early.

Soils mapped in the Prineville area are commonly well drained, so you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the spot. The ground around Prineville takes water in at a moderate rate, which means a standard base depth is usually enough.

Estimating How Much Topsoil You Need

To figure the tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Topsoil weighs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard dry, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3 to get tons. Use our material calculators at Gravel Monkey to get a load estimate based on your project dimensions.

What is the smallest load of topsoil you deliver to Prineville?

The smallest load is 1 ton. Because ground freezes deep and long in Prineville, the workable window for spreading is limited to late spring through fall, so planning the timing of a small load is important.

Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?

Yes, a contractor can order on behalf of a customer. The delivery address and a valid phone number for the person at the site must be provided so the driver can confirm the drop-off.
