Brooklyn Climate and When to Work With Fill Dirt
Brooklyn has about 75 wet days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery during a dry spell helps keep the ground firm for the truck and for compaction.
With about 67 days a year dropping below 32F, frost heave can affect fill placed late in the season. The ground freezes and thaws, causing settling. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Annual snowfall of about 30 inches means plowing can disturb a loose fill surface. Plan to compact or cover the fill before winter if you are working in the fall.
Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Measure the length and width of the area and the desired depth in feet. Multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. One ton of fill dirt covers roughly one cubic yard. Use our fill dirt calculator to get an accurate estimate for your project.

How long before I can plant or seed on it?
Fill dirt contains no organic matter and is meant for structural fill, not growing. If you plan to plant or seed, place a layer of topsoil on top of the fill dirt. Topsoil is available from Gravel Monkey and should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep for most plants.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
Fill dirt is not sold by size but by composition. It is screened and free of debris and organic material. It comes as a consistent, compactible soil used for raising grade and backfill. There is only one type of fill dirt offered, suitable for structural applications.
