Illinois Climate and Your Fill Dirt Project
The freeze season in Illinois stretches from fall to spring, with 94 to 135 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit depending on where in the state. Most of Illinois sits in the severe band for ground freezing, which means the ground freezes deep and stays frozen. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.
Soils across Illinois fall mostly into hydrologic groups C and D. These soils drain slowly, so fill dirt placed in wet conditions needs to be compacted carefully to avoid later settling. Plan your project for dry weather when possible.
