Buy Fill Dirt in Wautoma, Wisconsin

Wautoma gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout are something you have to plan for, especially when you are raising grade or filling a low area. Fill dirt is the structural material that helps you build a stable base and direct water away from your foundation.

The soils mapped near Wautoma are often excessively drained. That usually means you need less extra drainage stone underneath the fill layer because the ground already soaks up water quickly. This reduces the amount of base material you have to bring in.

Wautoma Climate and Soil: What It Means for Your Fill Dirt Job

About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important so the truck can unload without bogging down. Around 160 days drop below freezing, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.

Wautoma gets about 46 inches of snow annually. Plowing that snow can damage a loose fill surface, so it is best to compact and finish the job before the weather turns. Ground freezing here is deep and long, which affects when the ground is workable and how much it settles once it thaws.

Soils in the area are commonly in hydrologic group A, meaning they soak up water quickly and produce little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer, which can save you some money on base material.

What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?

We stock one product labeled Fill Dirt, which is unscreened. It contains a mix of soil, clay, sand and rock, so there are no separate size grades like gravel. The material compacts well and is used for structural fill rather than surface appearance.

How long before I can plant or seed on it?

Fill dirt has no organic matter, so you cannot plant directly into it. You need to place a layer of topsoil on top before seeding or sodding. After the fill dirt is compacted and settled, add 4 to 6 inches of topsoil and then you can plant.
