Fill Dirt we deliver in Dillon
Fill Dirt in Dillon
Fill dirt is the workhorse material for any project that changes the shape of your land. It is clean, compactable soil with no organic matter, meant for raising grade, filling voids, and supporting structures. In Dillon, where the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months, the window for spreading and grading runs from late spring into fall.
That makes planning ahead essential. Order your fill dirt once you know your build timeline so the material is on site and placed before the ground hardens again. Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is sold by the ton and delivered by dump truck directly to your address.
Fill Dirt for Your Dillon Project
We stock one type of fill dirt, and it is the same material contractors reach for on almost any grading or backfill job. It contains no topsoil, no roots, and no debris, so it compacts reliably without settling over time.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compactable, structural fill that does not rot or shift. |

Local Conditions That Affect Your Fill Dirt Work
Dillon sits at a high elevation in Summit County, where freezing temperatures last from November through April. The frost goes deep, and that means the soil stays workable only from late spring through fall. Plan your delivery and spreading during that window or risk frozen material.
The ground around Dillon is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. For any fill project, a deeper drainage layer under the fill earns its place because surface water will run off rather than soak in quickly.
Summit County permitted about 159 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to steady new construction. Fill dirt is the base for those new pads and yards. With a population of about 1,037, Dillon is a small town where deliveries to your job site are straightforward.
Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need
To figure out the tonnage, measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet. Multiply them to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.5 tons. For a fast estimate, use our fill dirt calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fill Dirt in Dillon
How many wet days a year should I plan a fill dirt delivery around in Dillon?
Dillon does not have a published wet-day count, but the ground in this area takes water in slowly. After a rain, the site can stay soft for a day or two. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch to avoid delays.
Is Dillon a wet enough area to worry about washout?
Yes, because the soil sheds a fair amount of surface water rather than soaking it in. On a slope, washout is a real concern during heavy rain. A drainage layer under the fill and compacting in lifts reduces that risk.
What size fill dirt should I choose?
Fill dirt is not sold by particle size. It is a natural soil with some clods and lumps. That composition is ideal for structural fill because it compacts tightly. For large voids or grade changes, order fill dirt as is.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, we deliver to any address in the Dillon area. You choose a delivery window at checkout, and someone must be present when the truck arrives. If the site has a narrow road, we unload as close to the spot as safely possible.
