Long Beach Climate and Your Fill Dirt Job
Long Beach sees about 76 days each year when the temperature drops below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can cause an unstable base if fill dirt is not compacted properly. Planning the work around the season helps avoid settlement later.
Soils in the area are commonly mapped as excessively drained. That may mean more or less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, less drainage stone is typically needed under the fill.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. About 137 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important.
Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Estimating the right amount of fill dirt starts with measuring the length and width of the area and the desired depth. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a tonnage estimate for your project. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives you a number you can order directly.
