March through May. Southern pine-pollen wave drives booking pressure March-April. Severe-weather and tornado-event residue handling April-May. Pre-Easter and pre-Mother's-Day residential commercial pressure. Heaviest residential booking-pressure stretch of the year.
May through September is the production window statewide. Heat-load disruption July-August in central and southern Arkansas. Pre-dawn working windows. Severe-weather and hail-storm event residue handling.
September through November is the cleanest production stretch statewide. Pre-holiday residential rush October-November. Foliage-season commercial concentration October-November in Ozark corridor. First hard frost in Ozark corridor late October.
Exterior work reduced January-February but not fully shut down. Ice-storm event residue handling January-February drives episodic extended residential-and-commercial workload. Commercial interior work statewide is partial off-season backbone.
Statewide tornado activity heavy. Wind-driven debris pattern, hail-impact residue, occasional structural-residue from damaged adjacent properties. Recurring post-event cleaning surge through the spring season.
Mississippi Embayment alluvial-aquifer water 140-260 mg/L typical with sub-micron suspended-particulate fraction. Iron content moderate-to-high on some distribution-system segments. Extended citric pre-treatment (3-5 minutes) plus citric-rinse finish required on most Delta-corridor stock.
Mississippi River flooding events produce silt-deposition and organic-residue on flood-affected commercial-and-residential. Extended alkaline-soap dwell plus citric-rinse handling. Same handling pattern Elly Giordano documents for Mississippi River-adjacent Mississippi.
