Fill Dirt

About Fill Dirt

Fill Dirt is a soil & dirt material with a typical density of 2200 lbs per cubic yard. Screened, ready-to-spread material for new lawns, garden beds, raised planters, grading low spots, and filling around foundations.

A typical residential order is 3-8 tons; full-load contractor orders run 16-24 tons. We deliver in tandem-axle dump trucks (10-16 ton capacity) or tri-axles (16-24 ton capacity). Pricing varies with regional quarry proximity, load size, and current diesel; full-load delivery typically saves 15-20% over partial loads.

Best uses for Fill Dirt

Where we source Fill Dirt

We source Fill Dirt from local quarries within the delivery region, typically inside a 50-mile radius. Short hauls mean lower delivery cost for you and a smaller diesel footprint per ton.

Every load is weighed at the source and the ticket travels with the truck, so you get exact tonnage, not estimates. Quality varies by quarry; we work with operators whose product meets state DOT spec for the applications we recommend.

Why bulk delivery saves money

On a per-ton basis, retail bag pricing lands at about three times the bulk truck rate once you add up tax, the haul home in a passenger vehicle, and the bag waste. A residential project usually runs 3 to 8 tons, which fits one tandem-axle truck and one drop. Contractors stepping up to 16 tons or more unlock our full-truck rate, which is generally 15 to 20 percent below the partial-load price. Bulk also wins on time: one delivery beats 20 trips to the rack, and the driver places the load where you want it instead of a parking-lot pallet.
