Wilmington Climate and Soil Considerations
Wilmington sees about 81 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid ruts. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season.
About 49 days a year drop below 32F. Those freezing events affect the work window and how much the ground moves during a project. Snowfall averages just 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rarely a concern here.
Soils mapped in the Wilmington area are commonly moderately well drained. That affects how much base stone you need under the surface layer. The ground around Wilmington is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for most fill jobs.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Measure the length, width and depth of the void in feet, then multiply to get cubic feet. Divide that by 27 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's density. Use the fill dirt calculator to do the math in seconds.

Fill Dirt in Wilmington: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the smallest load of fill dirt you deliver to Wilmington?
The minimum load is 1 ton. Wilmington gets about 81 wet days a year, so you may want to schedule delivery during a dry spell to keep the ground firm. Smaller loads are available for tight access or small patches.
Does the soil around Wilmington change how much fill dirt I need?
No, the soil type does not change the volume of fill dirt needed. Soils mapped in the Wilmington area are commonly moderately well drained, which affects base stone requirements but not the fill itself. The fill dirt calculator works the same for any address.
How deep should the layer be for planting?
Fill dirt is not for planting. It contains no organic matter and is used for structural purposes. If you are establishing a planting bed, order topsoil to go on top of the fill dirt. A typical topsoil layer is 4 to 6 inches deep.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
Fill dirt is sold as a single blend suitable for structural backfill and grading. It is not sized like gravel or crushed stone. If you need a different particle size, look at crushed gravel or sand for that application.
