Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Yates County address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the workhorse material for raising grade, backfilling foundations, and filling holes. It compacts to a stable base that supports buildings, driveways, and patios.
Yates County gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is important to prevent washout before the fill is compacted and graded.
Fill dirt contains no organic matter, so it will not settle or decompose over time. It is the right choice when you need structural volume, not a growing medium.
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compacts densely, minimal shrinkage. Use under slabs, pavers, or topsoil. |
These five projects are common reasons to order fill dirt. The table shows what to order and the typical depth or note for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place in lifts and compact each layer. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Allow extra for compaction after filling. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill is typical for low-traffic pads. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Spread 2 to 3 inches at a time to avoid puddling. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill in lifts, water, and tamp between layers. |
About 136 days a year drop below 32 degrees F, which shortens the workable season for spreading and grading. Snowfall averages 55 inches a year; plowing a loose fill surface can cause ruts before it is compacted. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.
Frost is deep and long in Yates County, so ground movement from freezing and thawing can settle fill unevenly. Ordering a little extra material allows for re-leveling after the first winter.
Soils mapped in the Yates County area are commonly well drained, so less base stone is needed under the fill layer. The ground around Yates County takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning standard base depth is usually sufficient for drainage.
