How Murrells Inlet's Climate and Soil Affect Your Fill Dirt Job
Soils mapped in the Murrells Inlet area are commonly very poorly drained. This means you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground is in dual hydrologic group A/D; where it is drained, water soaks in quickly, but where it is not, water runs off. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 38 days a year drop below 32 degrees F, affecting the work window and ground movement. Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage is not a concern. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Estimating Your Fill Dirt Needs
The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the area and depth you plan to fill. Use Gravel Monkey's fill dirt calculator to estimate the tons required for your project. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the soil around Murrells Inlet change how much fill dirt I need?
Yes, because soils in the area are commonly very poorly drained. This means you may need a deeper base, which can increase the amount of fill dirt required. Plan accordingly.
Is Murrells Inlet a wet enough area to worry about washout?
Murrells Inlet has about 75 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. This frequent wetness means you should schedule fill dirt delivery onto firm ground to avoid compaction issues.
Which size is the most common choice for this material?
Fill dirt is not sold by size; it is a single material suitable for most fill applications. It comes as a compactable soil with no organic matter.
How deep should the layer be for planting?
Fill dirt is structural, not for planting. Use topsoil on top, and the depth of topsoil will depend on the type of planting.
