Fill Dirt and Union's Climate
Union sees about 76 days a year with temperatures below 32F. This freeze-thaw cycle can shift loosely placed fill dirt, so compacted layers are important to minimize movement. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Union gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning become necessary when placing fill dirt to avoid erosion.
Soils mapped in the Union area are commonly well drained. This means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in areas with clay soil. The ground around Union is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for adequate drainage.
