Local Conditions That Affect Topsoil Work in Lead

Lead records about 57 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts and compaction.

The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. With about 157 days a year below 32F, the ground freezes deep and long, so plan work when soils are thawed and dry. Snowfall averages about 70 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose topsoil surface if you spread before the last snow.

Soils mapped in the Lead area are commonly well drained, meaning less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Lead is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for good drainage.
