Fill Dirt Delivery in Lewisville, TX for Home Projects

Closing the gap between a deck and a sinking lawn is the kind of job that fill dirt delivery in Lewisville, TX handles well. A bulk load of brown soil is dropped at your address, so you can raise the ground without loading a truck yourself.

Lewisville lots in the Dallas-Fort Worth area

Lewisville has about 120,000 residents and is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Carrollton is about 8 miles off, Plano about 10, Frisco about 12 and Denton about 15. Yards and builds here vary in size and grade, so measure your own spot before you decide on a quantity. The Fill Dirt in Texas hub gathers the statewide pages for this material.

Most Lewisville fill jobs start with one complaint: water standing near a foundation, a dip that catches a mower wheel, or a trench that has sunk. Name yours before you size anything.

Measuring a Lewisville fill job

Use feet for length and width and inches for depth, multiply the three, and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Take a bed 12 feet by 15 feet raised 6 inches: 12 times 15 times 6 is 1,080, and 1,080 divided by 324 is about 3.3 cubic yards. At 2,200 pounds per yard, that is close to 3.7 tons.

For an L-shaped or curved area, split it into rectangles, work out each one, and add the results. Order slightly over your total, because newly placed soil compresses as it is walked on and rained on. The calculator will check your arithmetic if you enter the dimensions.

Fill dirt delivery in Lewisville, TX, from checkout to the driveway

The product page shows the delivered price for your ZIP code before you commit. See the delivery in Lewisville page for the city details. If the yard sits behind a fence, expect the load to land in the driveway and plan to move it by wheelbarrow, so check that the gate is wide enough. Move vehicles out of the driveway beforehand so the driver has the whole width to work with.

Typical Lewisville fill projects

• Bringing a sunken yard up beside a deck or patio.
• Packing a level pad under a shed or small structure.
• Filling a settled trench after utility work.
• Raising the ground line along a new fence.

Fill adds height only, and the finish layer goes on top of it.

Place the soil in stages, starting at the lowest point, and rake each stage level before the next arrives. Standing back after each stage shows whether the surface is heading where you want it. Wet soil is heavy to move and clumps instead of raking out, so aim for a dry day. If rain interrupts the work, leave the pile alone until the surface is workable again rather than tracking mud across the yard.

Tons and totals

Lewisville orders are counted in tons, and the smallest order is 2 tons. Each added ton lowers the rate you pay per ton, so a project that needs several tons is priced better as one order than as separate small ones. Weigh the delivered total against what the job really needs, with room left for the finish layer. Contractors running jobs at several addresses can treat each one as its own order, since each address has its own ZIP and total.

Finish layers and other listed materials

Four other materials are listed for Lewisville, and each is sold by the ton. Pea Gravel suits paths and play areas, and Premium Screened Topsoil suits lawn repairs. River Rock covers decorative beds, and #57 Crushed Stone is the pick where a surface has to bear weight.

Choose the finish before you fix the height of the fill, since a gravel top or a layer of soil and sod takes up several inches of the finished depth. Stop the fill below the final grade by that amount.

Write down your tonnage and the ZIP you used, so a later order can match the first.

About Fill Dirt

About this material

This fill dirt is a brown, bulk soil that homeowners and small contractors order by the ton. Its main role is to build height and firm up the ground beneath whatever goes on top.

The color is a plain brown that blends into most yards once the finish layer is spread and the surface is graded. A Lewisville yard with a low corner, or a patch of ground that has dropped over time, is a typical case for this material.

Fill becomes the base beneath pea gravel, river rock or a topsoil top dressing when the goal is a usable surface. Pick the top layer for the way the space will be used, and let the fill do the structural work underneath.
