Mapped soil inside Papillion is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Sarpy County the USDA survey is Contrary at about 24 percent of the survey, with Marshall and Judson alongside it. By texture that survey runs 56 percent clay, 22 percent silt and 6 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 4.16 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. Frost in this part of the state reaches 36 to 42 inches, and the ground cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times a year, so the same soil is loading and unloading a wall all year.
