Local Conditions for Fill Dirt Projects in Red Feather Lakes
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. About 207 days a year drop below 32F, meaning the ground is frozen or frosty for much of the year. You need to plan compaction and grading around that narrow window.
Snowfall averages about 98 inches annually. That snowmelt in spring can saturate the fill if it is not properly compacted and graded for drainage. Annual precipitation is about 18 inches, mostly as rain in summer, so drainage planning is critical to avoid erosion of the fill.
The ground around Red Feather Lakes takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere to prevent washout of the fill.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Estimating the tonnage of fill dirt you need depends on the area and depth of the fill. Use the fill dirt calculator on our site to get a quick estimate based on your project dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the soil around Red Feather Lakes change how much fill dirt I need?
Yes. The ground around Red Feather Lakes takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This increases the need for a deeper base of fill dirt to prevent washout and ensure proper drainage.
Do winter conditions in Red Feather Lakes affect delivery?
Yes. About 98 inches of snowfall each year can block access for the dump truck unless the site is cleared. Plan to have the delivery area snow-free for the driver to reach the spot.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
Gravel Monkey stocks fill dirt as a single grade. It is unscreened and contains a mix of particle sizes. There is no separate size option; one product serves all structural fill needs.
How long before I can plant or seed on it?
Fill dirt contains no organic matter and is not a growing medium. You need to cap it with topsoil before planting or seeding. Once topsoil is added, you can seed immediately.
