Local Conditions That Affect Fill Dirt Use in High Ridge

About 105 days a year drop below 32F in High Ridge. That affects the work window for placing fill dirt. When the ground freezes and thaws, the fill can settle unevenly. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.

High Ridge sees about 44 inches of precipitation annually, with about 72 days a year bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction issues. The fill dirt will hold up better if it is placed and compacted when the base is dry.

Soils mapped in the High Ridge area are commonly moderately well drained. The ground here is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This behavior calls for a deeper drainage layer under the fill if you plan to build on it.
