What Duncannon's Climate Means for Your Fill Dirt Job

Duncannon sees about 111 days a year with temperatures below freezing. This limits the working season for fill dirt jobs. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.

The area averages 82 wet days a year. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground can help avoid ruts and compaction issues. About 28 inches of snowfall can mean plowing damage to a loose surface if you spread fill dirt in winter.

Soils mapped in the Duncannon area are commonly well drained. This means you may need less base stone under a surface layer. The ground around Duncannon takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for fill projects.
