Local Conditions That Affect Fill Dirt Work in Long Prairie

Long Prairie has about 58 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. That means you should schedule your fill dirt delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.

Roughly 175 days a year drop below freezing. That long freeze shrinks the workable season for spreading and grading. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Frost penetrates deep, so the ground heaves and settles unevenly if you work it too late.

Snowfall runs about 51 inches a year. Plowing a loose fill surface before it is compacted can push material away and create uneven spots. Plan to spread and compact fill before the first heavy snow.

How Much Fill Dirt You Need for Your Long Prairie Job

To estimate your tonnage, figure the volume in cubic feet (length times width times depth) and divide by about 27 to get cubic yards. Each cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 2,100 to 2,500 pounds. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a precise number for your project.

How many wet days a year should I plan a fill dirt delivery around in Long Prairie?
