Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Chelsea address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising grade, backfill, and building pads. Chelsea gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you choose your fill and compaction method. One grade of fill dirt covers most jobs.

One product handles most structural fill needs. The table below shows what it is used for.

|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Fill to desired grade, compact in lifts. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Backfill in compacted lifts. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Fill to pad height, compacted. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill entire void, compacted. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill hole flush to surface grade. |
Chelsea sees about 45 inches of rain a year. That makes drainage and washout planning important for any fill project. About 66 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground takes a good forecast.
Roughly 94 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That shortens the workable season and can cause ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. About 8 inches of snow falls annually, and plowing can damage a loose surface.
Soils mapped in the Chelsea area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. The ground around Chelsea falls in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
