Topsoil in Somerville's Climate and Soil
Somerville gets about 44 inches of rain a year. That means topsoil can wash out if it is not placed on a well-drained base. The ground around Somerville is in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage planning more important here than in areas with faster-draining soil.
About 55 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery for firm ground helps avoid a muddy job site. The area has about 18 days a year below freezing, which limits the work window in winter. Soils mapped in the Somerville area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need more or less base stone under the topsoil depending on your specific lot. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Estimating How Much Topsoil You Need
To figure out how many tons of topsoil you need, measure the area you want to cover and decide the depth. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate before you order.
