Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Wasilla address and unloads right where you point.
Whether you are raising a low yard or backfilling around a foundation, the right base material matters. Fill dirt gives you a compactable, inorganic layer that holds its shape, while topsoil goes over it for planting. Wasilla gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning ahead of time helps avoid washout.
Gravel Monkey delivers bulk fill dirt by the dump truck to your address. You order online, choose your delivery window, and the truck shows up. No yard to visit, no rental trailer to haul.
Fill dirt is a structural material. It contains no organic matter, so it will not decompose or settle over time. Use it wherever you need a stable base below grade.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean mineral soil that compacts well and supports weight |
These depth guidelines are typical. Always use the calculator to get a precise tonnage estimate for your site.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Building up a pad for a shed or garage | Fill dirt | Compact in lifts of 8 to 12 inches |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill dirt | Compact in 6-inch layers to prevent settling |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill dirt | Fill to finished grade, compact gently |
| Raising a low yard | Fill dirt | Depth depends on final grade desired |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill dirt | Fill to surface level, pack as you go |
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough sees about 45 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need to schedule deliveries onto firm ground, not mud. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
About 194 freezing days per year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift soil under a loose fill, so compact thoroughly and consider a base layer of crushed stone. The area gets roughly 62 inches of snowfall annually, and plowing can damage an unconsolidated surface. Grade your fill dirt above or level with surrounding ground to keep snowplows from catching it.
Soils mapped in the Wasilla area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in clay-heavy areas. The ground around Wasilla takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough for most residential fills.
Enter your project dimensions into our fill dirt calculator to see approximate tons required. The calculator accounts for compaction, so your order will cover the final volume.

Fill dirt is the base layer. These materials go on top or around it for a finished job.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code and shown at checkout. Wasilla has about 194 freezing days per year, which can affect ground conditions for delivery, so choose a window when the site is firm.
Use the fill dirt calculator to estimate tonnage based on length, width, and depth. The soil around Wasilla drains at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually sufficient, the calculator will account for that.
Depth depends on the project. For a building pad, compact 8 to 12 inches of fill dirt in lifts. For filling a hole, match the surrounding grade. The calculator also recommends depths based on the use.
Fill dirt is sold by the ton. One ton typically covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but that varies with moisture and compaction. Your order is weighed at the quarry before loading.
