Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Fort Walton Beach address and unloads right where you point.
Fort Walton Beach sits in Okaloosa County, where new home construction and yard improvements are common. The area gets about 67 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you move fill dirt on your property.

Fort Walton Beach has about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important so the truck can offload without sinking or rutting.
About 23 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The work window and how much the ground moves are affected by freezing and thawing, though ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means the ground is workable for much of the year and settlement is more consistent. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Soils mapped in the Fort Walton Beach area are commonly excessively drained. This area guidance means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the specific site.
You can figure out your tonnage by calculating the volume of the space you want to fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to enter your project dimensions and get an estimate in tons. A typical dump truck carries 20 tons, but we can deliver loads from 1 to more than 40 tons.

Fill dirt is not graded by particle size the way gravel or sand is. It is a natural, unscreened material that contains a mix of soil, sand, and clay. The most common choice is simply the standard fill dirt we supply, suitable for most structural fills and grade changes.
Fill dirt is not intended for planting. It is a structural material used to raise grade or fill holes. For planting, you need a layer of topsoil on top of the fill dirt. Topsoil provides the organic matter and nutrients that plants require.
