Common Projects Using Topsoil in Carthage

Match your project to the right product and depth.

How Carthage Weather and Soil Affect Your Topsoil Job

Soils mapped in the Carthage area are commonly moderately well drained. This means you need less base stone under the topsoil than in heavier clay areas, but drainage planning still matters. The ground around Carthage is in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This makes a deeper base and proper grading more important here than in other regions.

Carthage gets about 52 inches of rain a year, so washout and drainage are real concerns. About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which affects when you can get a truck onto firm ground. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. About 39 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which narrows the work window and means you have to account for ground movement from freeze-thaw.
