Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Perryville address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers grab any fill dirt without considering how it behaves in the ground. That mistake can lead to settling and drainage issues. The soils around Perryville are in hydrologic group C, meaning they take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place.
Choosing the right structural fill means matching the material to the job. Fill dirt is the base layer that supports what you build on top of it, not the growing layer.
The split between base material and finish material is important. Fill dirt is the structural base that provides load-bearing stability and compaction. Use it below topsoil, gravel, or concrete.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Contains no organic matter, compacts well for stability. |
For budget-focused work, fill dirt does the job. For long-term projects that need drainage or load bearing, combine it with a gravel cap.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches before topsoil |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts of 4 to 6 inches |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Allow for drainage slope |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, tamp as you go |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Requires heavy compaction and time to settle |
Perryville receives about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are critical. With roughly 72 wet days annually, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters to avoid a muddy mess.
About 69 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freezing and thawing can shift the ground, so the work window and settlement need attention. Snowfall is light at about 2 inches a year, but plowing after a dump can churn a loose surface. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, affecting when the earth is workable and how much the fill may settle later.
Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Tonnes depend on the area you plan to cover and the depth of fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to get an estimate based on your project dimensions. The calculator accounts for compaction loss, so you order the right amount the first time.

These materials complement fill dirt for a complete job.
Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code. Because Perryville soils belong to hydrologic group C, which drains slowly, a deeper fill base may be needed, increasing the total tons. Use FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
The amount depends on the area and depth. Perryville receives about 53 inches of precipitation per year, so you may need extra material to account for settlement or drainage layers. Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate.
