Fill Dirt we deliver in Yale
Fill Dirt in Yale
Yale gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any site where you spread fill dirt. A well-compacted structural layer helps shed water away from foundations and low areas.
Fill dirt is the right material when you need to raise grade, fill holes, or build up a pad. It has no organic matter, so it settles predictably and supports weight without rotting.

Climate and Ground Conditions in Yale
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can turn construction access into mud. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground saves you a headache later.
Roughly 143 days each year drop below 32F, and the freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Deep, long frost also means the ground heaves and settles when it thaws, so a compacted fill layer is more reliable than untreated soil.
Ground around Yale falls into hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer beneath your fill earns its place, especially in low spots.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.35 tons. Use the fill dirt calculator to get a quick number based on your own measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver fill dirt to Yale and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver fill dirt to Yale and all surrounding communities. Yale gets about 36 inches of snowfall a year, so plowing can damage a loose surface if you do not compact the fill before winter.
How many tons of fill dirt do I need for my project?
Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate tonnage. The ground freezes deep and long here, which means the workable season for grading is limited, so it pays to order enough for the whole job at once.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
We stock one grade of fill dirt that is suitable for structural fill. It contains a blend of sand, silt, clay, and small rock fragments up to about 3 inches in size. No other sizes are available.
How long before I can plant or seed on it?
Fill dirt contains no organic matter and is meant for raising grade and backfilling, not for growing. You should cover it with at least 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before planting grass, flowers, or shrubs.
