Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Boynton Beach address and unloads right where you point.
A dump truck brings your fill dirt to the address you choose, and you mark where you want the load dropped. One drop per order, so plan the pile before the truck arrives. Boynton Beach gets about 65 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
Fill dirt is the base layer: it raises grade, fills holes, and provides a stable subgrade. The alternative is to use topsoil for everything, but topsoil compacts poorly and rots over time. Fill dirt does not hold moisture the way topsoil does, which is an advantage under a slab or a lawn.
Think of fill dirt as the structural fill and topsoil as the surface that grows plants. One product covers the range of jobs we see in Boynton Beach.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | No organic matter, compacts well for a stable base underneath any finish layer. |
Fill dirt does the heavy lifting in projects where load bearing matters more than appearance. The table below matches typical jobs with the right approach.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Backfill in lifts, tamp each layer to prevent settling. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Plan for 10 to 15 percent compaction settlement over the first year. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place against the wall only after waterproofing and drainage board are installed. |
| Building up a pad for a shed or addition | Fill Dirt | Minimum 6 inches compacted, deeper if the area is poorly drained. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Bring the grade away from the house; top with topsoil for grass. |
Boynton Beach records about 87 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means picking a dry stretch. About zero days a year drop below freezing, so the ground never heaves from frost and the work window runs all year.
Soils mapped in the Boynton Beach area are commonly poorly drained. That means more base stone or deeper fill may be needed under the surface layer to keep water from pooling under the grade. The ground around Boynton Beach falls into dual hydrologic group A/D: where it is drained it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff; where it is not, water moves in slowly so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, but the behavior depends on whether your site has been tiled or graded.
Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
The tonnage depends on the area and the depth you want. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons, and most loads range from 1 to 40 plus tons. Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate your total before you order. The calculator works for any project size and adjusts for the material's density.

Fill dirt goes under the finish layer. Pair it with one of these materials for the complete job.
Yes, because soils in the Boynton Beach area are commonly poorly drained. If the ground does not drain well, you may need a deeper fill layer to keep the finished grade above the seasonal water table. That can increase the total cubic yards compared to a site with naturally well-drained soil.
Boynton Beach records about 87 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the ground is soft on roughly a quarter of the calendar days. Schedule your delivery during a dry stretch so the truck can reach the drop point without rutting the yard.
We stock one type of fill dirt: clean, compactable fill without organic matter. It works for raising grade, backfilling cavities, and creating a stable subgrade. There is no size variation; the material is a consistent soil aggregate.
Order at least 3 business days before your desired delivery date. At checkout you pick a morning or afternoon window. The order must be confirmed via email before the load is dispatched.
