Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Silverthorne address and unloads right where you point.
A typical fill dirt project in Silverthorne could take anywhere from a few tons for a small yard raise to 40 tons or more for a building pad. The exact amount depends on the depth and area you need to fill.
Silverthorne has about 5,371 residents, so most fill dirt orders are for residential properties like raising a low yard or filling a stump hole. New home construction in Summit County also drives demand: the county permitted about 159 single-family homes in 2024, many of which need fill dirt for grading and backfill.
Fill dirt is a structural material with no organic matter. It is used for raising grade, filling holes, and backfilling around foundations. The table below shows what we carry.
| Product | What It Is For | Note |
|---|---|---|

Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. Plan your fill dirt project for late spring or early summer after the ground has fully thawed to avoid settling issues. The deep, long freeze means fill may settle more as the ground heaves and then settles, so compacting in lifts is important.
The ground around Silverthorne is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your fill dirt earns its place, especially for building pads or backfill that need to stay dry.
With Summit County permitting about 159 new homes in 2024, many new construction sites need fill dirt for grading and drainage. Planning for these soil and frost conditions ensures a stable result.
