If you are raising a low yard or filling a stump hole, you need a material that settles and stays put. Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey does exactly that. With about 47 inches of precipitation a year in Rehoboth Beach, you want a fill that drains well and won't wash out.
Fill dirt is the structural workhorse, while topsoil is the growing layer that goes on top. For raising grade and backfill, fill dirt is the right base.

Rehoboth Beach gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. With about 76 wet days annually, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid a muddy mess. Soils mapped in the Rehoboth Beach area are commonly well drained, which can mean less base stone needed under the surface layer, though your own soil may differ. The ground around Rehoboth Beach takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
About 81 days a year drop below freezing. This affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. The moderate ground freezing here means you can expect some settlement as the soil thaws in spring.
To estimate the tonnage, measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet. Multiply those numbers and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to get tons. Use the Gravel Monkey fill dirt calculator to get a quick number for your Rehoboth Beach project.

Fill dirt is the base layer. These materials go with it or serve a different purpose on the same site.
Yes, it can. Soils mapped in the Rehoboth Beach area are commonly well drained, which may mean less base depth is needed under the fill. However, your own soil may differ, so it is best to check the compaction of your existing ground before ordering. An extra 5 to 10 percent over the estimate can cover minor variations in settling.
Yes. About 81 days a year drop below 32°F, and the county gets about 10 inches of snowfall. Freezing ground can make it hard to spread fill dirt evenly, and snow or ice may delay the truck. Gravel Monkey schedules at least 3 business days ahead, so you can pick a day with good weather.
No. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window to receive the load and approve the material. If no one is there, a redelivery fee may apply and the order is not refunded.
