Fill Dirt in Potosi
Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year in Potosi. Plan your fill dirt delivery for either side of that season.
Potosi gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, and the soil in the area takes water in very slowly. That combination means most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in, so washout and drainage are real concerns when you are raising grade or backfilling.

How Potosi Weather Affects Your Fill Dirt Job
Potosi has about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. A wet site can delay the truck and the job.
About 104 days a year drop below 32F. The ground freezes moderately, which shrinks the workable window. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
The 9 inches of average snowfall can cause plowing damage to a loose surface. If you spread fill dirt in late fall, expect some disturbance when snow is cleared. The frost is moderate, so the ground settles predictably when it thaws.
Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need
