Bristol's Climate and Your Fill Dirt Project
Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. Bristol gets about 142 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which shrinks the workable season and can cause ground movement after filling. Plan for settlement after the freeze-thaw cycle.
About 85 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means picking a dry stretch. With roughly 51 inches of snowfall each winter, plowing can damage a loose surface, so wait until the snow is gone before final grading.
Soils mapped in the Bristol area are commonly well drained, so you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in other regions. The ground around Bristol is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning a standard base depth is usually enough for drainage.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Estimate your tonnage by the cubic yard. Multiply length by width by depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture. Enter your area and depth into the fill dirt calculator for a precise number.
