Common Lakeville Jobs and Recommended Fill Dirt Depth

For typical projects in Lakeville, fill dirt is the material to order. The table below shows common jobs and typical depths.

Lakeville Climate and Soil Conditions for Fill Dirt

Lakeville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters for your fill project. More than 85 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can make the ground soft and affect delivery scheduling. Plan to receive your fill dirt on firm ground to avoid ruts.

Soils mapped in the Lakeville area are commonly moderately well drained. In areas that are drained, the ground takes water in slowly and sheds some across the surface. Where it is not drained, water moves very slowly and most runs off. So deeper base stone or drainage measures may be needed under fill dirt, depending on your specific site. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. Lakeville averages about 34 inches of snow a year, and plowing can disturb a loose fill surface, so keep that in mind if you are working near a driveway.

How to Estimate the Amount of Fill Dirt You Need

To figure out how many tons of fill dirt to order, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet, then convert to cubic yards. One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.2 tons.
