Local Climate and Soil Considerations for Fill Dirt in Raeford

Raeford gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you place fill dirt. You may need to slope the surface or add a base layer to keep water from pooling.

About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Soils mapped in the Raeford area are commonly well drained, which can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the fill. Ground here takes water in at a moderate rate, so the standard base depth is usually enough. About 58 days a year drop below 32F, which can affect the work window for compaction.

Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Snowfall is about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a major concern. Ground freezing is not a significant factor, meaning the ground is workable for much of the year and settling is more predictable.

Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need

The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the area and depth you want to raise. Use our fill dirt calculator to get an estimate. Enter the length, width, and depth, and it gives you a quantity in tons. Fill dirt is sold by the ton, so the calculator converts cubic yards to tons using the material's density. For most projects, ordering a little extra is wise to account for compaction and settling.
