Tully occupies the Appalachian Plateau in southern Onondaga County, on the headwaters divide between the Atlantic and Great Lakes drainages. Soils across the village and surrounding commercial parcels are dominated by Mardin and Langford channery silt loams on the rolling uplands, with Lordstown channery silt loam on the highest ground and Palmyra gravelly loam on the outwash in the Tully valley itself.
The Tully Valley is one of the most distinctive hydrogeologic settings in Central New York, with Onondaga Creek draining north toward Syracuse, the Tioughnioga headwaters draining south, and the historic Tully Valley mudboil and landslide activity adding karst and slope-stability considerations to any earthwork on the valley walls. Commercial site work in Tully regularly involves shallow sandstone and siltstone bedrock on the plateau parcels, fragipan-restricted drainage on the uplands, and stormwater design that accounts for the Onondaga Creek watershed's contribution to Onondaga Lake. Frost depth is substantial. Projects in the valley floor routinely require coordination with NYSDEC on Onondaga Creek stream-protection permitting, and subsurface investigation is standard before slab or foundation work.
