Sturgis gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout is part of any fill job. The right depth and compaction matter here more than in drier areas.
Fill dirt is not topsoil. It contains no organic matter and will not support plant growth on its own. Use it only for structural work such as raising grade, filling holes and backfill.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Contains no organic matter; not for planting. |
Here is how to match your project to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts for stability. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Typical depth 6 to 12 inches. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Compact as you go; allow for settling. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Minimum 6 inches after compaction. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers and water to settle. |
The ground around Sturgis takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place whenever you add fill to a low spot. About 53 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground can save you from ruts.
With roughly 166 days below freezing and about 56 inches of snowfall, plowing damage to a loose surface is a real possibility if you spread fill in winter. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Ground freezing is deep and long, affecting when the ground is workable and how much it settles after thaw.
To figure out how many tons of fill dirt your project needs, measure the area and the desired depth, then use the fill dirt calculator to convert cubic yards to tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and material density.
