Fill Dirt in Tempe
Fill dirt is the structural base for any project that adds elevation. You order it by the ton online, and a dump truck brings it to your Tempe address.
Tempe gets about 8 inches of precipitation a year, so good drainage planning is part of any fill job with fill dirt.
Fill Dirt for Tempe Projects
Fill dirt is not for planting. It has no organic matter. Use it to raise grade, fill holes, or backfill structures.

Tempe Weather and Soil
Tempe gets about 19 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters, so the truck does not rut your site.
About 6 days a year drop below freezing. The ground moves a little during freeze-thaw cycles, so compact fill before winter.
Soils mapped in the Tempe area are commonly well drained. That means you can often use fill dirt directly without extra base stone under it.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
Estimating Your Fill Dirt Tonnage
Use our fill dirt calculator to enter your area and depth. It converts cubic yards to tons so you order the right amount.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fill dirt delivery cost in Tempe?
The price depends on tonnage and your ZIP code. Maricopa County permitted about 21,667 single-family homes in 2024, so fill dirt is in high demand for grading and backfill projects.
Do you deliver fill dirt to Tempe and the surrounding area?
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers to Tempe and nearby cities. Ground around Tempe is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so fill dirt is often used to improve drainage.
What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can. You must be present or have someone at the site during the delivery window.
How do I know how deep to go?
Depth depends on the project. For raising grade, measure from the existing surface to the finished height. For backfill, fill to the level needed and compact. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert depth to tons.
