Fill Dirt we deliver in Wakefield
Fill Dirt in Wakefield
In Washington County, projects like raising a low yard or filling a hole often start with a load of fill dirt. Wakefield gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you are adding fill. A well-compacted base and a slight slope away from structures help water move away.
Whether you are backfilling a foundation or building up a pad, the right fill dirt makes the job easier. Orders are placed online, and a dump truck delivers straight to your address.

Wakefield's Climate and Soil Considerations for Fill Dirt
Soils mapped in the Wakefield area are commonly very poorly drained. This means you may need more base stone under the fill to keep water from pooling. The area gets about 51 inches of rain each year, and roughly 83 days have at least a tenth of an inch. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps the truck unload without sinking.
Ground freezing affects about 128 days a year when temperatures drop below 32F. That shortens the work window to spring through fall for most fill projects. Snowfall averages about 37 inches annually, which can cause plowing damage if you spread fill over a loose surface before winter. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
The soil water behavior around Wakefield is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where the ground is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate. Where it is not drained, water runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in other areas.
Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need
To figure out the tons required, multiply the area in square feet by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Each cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons. Use our fill dirt calculator to get an exact number for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fill Dirt in Wakefield
Do you deliver fill dirt to Wakefield and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver fill dirt to Wakefield and the surrounding area, including all of Washington County. Washington County permitted about 222 single-family homes in 2024, so many new construction projects in the area need fill dirt for grading and backfill.
How much does fill dirt delivery cost in Wakefield?
The delivery cost is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. Wakefield gets about 51 inches of rain a year, so drainage planning may affect the amount of fill you need, but the price per ton is set before you place the order.
How long before I can plant or seed on it?
Fill dirt contains no organic matter, so it is not a growing medium. You need to add a layer of topsoil on top before planting. How soon you can seed depends on the depth of topsoil and the time of year.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
We stock one type of fill dirt: clean, screened material without organic matter. It is a single grade suitable for structural fill. For projects that need a finer texture, you can add topsoil as the surface layer.
