Local Conditions That Affect Fill Dirt Use in Thibodaux
About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your fill dirt delivery onto firm ground takes some planning. Avoid periods when the ground is saturated.
Only about 11 days a year drop below 32 degrees F. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. The ground is workable most of the year, and settlement after fill placement is more predictable.
Soils mapped in the Thibodaux area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Thibodaux is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place when you install fill dirt for a pad or yard raise.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need for Your Thibodaux Job
The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the area and the depth you plan to fill. Measure the length and width in feet, multiply by the depth in feet, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Then use our fill dirt calculator to convert to tons for ordering.
