Why Novi Tree Farm dries this way
Terrain & soilNovi Tree Farm (Detroit & Ann Arbor, MI) rides on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 945 ft, Novi Tree Farm rides WSW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the nearly flat grade, around 0.3° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
