Common Projects and How Much Topsoil They Take

The table below matches typical New Martinsville projects to the material and a depth guideline. Use our material calculators to check the exact tons you need for your specific area.

What the Climate and Soil Mean for Your Topsoil Job

New Martinsville sees about 134 days a year when the temperature drops below 32 degrees F. That frost cycle makes the ground heave and settle. If you put down a thin layer of topsoil in fall, it may shift over winter. Plan your delivery for after the ground thaws in spring or before it freezes in late fall.

About 94 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means the delivery site needs to be firm enough for the truck. Choose a dry stretch for your delivery window to avoid rutting. Snowfall here runs about 23 inches a year. Plowing a loose topsoil surface can create ruts and mounds, so consider spreading after the snow season if the area will be plowed.

Soils mapped in the New Martinsville area are commonly well drained. That trait can mean less need for a stone base under the topsoil for drainage, but it also means organic matter can leach out faster. The ground around New Martinsville takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard topsoil depth is usually enough to manage runoff. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.

How to Figure the Tonnage You Need

Topsoil is sold by the ton. To estimate your quantity, measure the area in square feet and the depth you want in inches. Gravel Monkey's material calculators do the math for you. Enter your numbers and it gives you the tons to order.
