Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mayo address and unloads right where you point.
When you need to raise a yard or fill a hole, topsoil is often the first thing that comes to mind. But topsoil is meant for growing grass and plants, not for building a stable base. The material you actually want is fill dirt.
Fill dirt contains no organic matter, so it compacts firmly and won't settle over time. In Mayo, where about 54 inches of rain falls each year, that stable base is critical for keeping drainage and washout under control.
Fill dirt is not suitable for planting. It is used for raising grade, filling holes, and backfilling around structures. Here is the product we offer.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Contains no organic matter; compacts well for stable fill. |
The table below shows typical uses. Each project uses fill dirt as the base material.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts of 6 to 8 inches to prevent settling. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade and tamp firmly. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Layer and compact as you go; depth varies by pit size. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Add 4 to 12 inches depending on the final grade. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts to the desired height. |
Mayo sits in Lafayette County, which permitted about 42 single-family homes in 2024. That new construction means more lots need fill dirt to bring them up to grade. The ground here experiences roughly 27 freezing days a year, so the work window is driven by moisture, not cold.
Soils mapped in the Mayo area are commonly moderately well drained. That affects how much base stone you need under the surface. The soil water group here soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff, so you typically need less drainage stone beneath the fill.
With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch to keep the truck on firm ground.
The tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan to fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a quick estimate in tons and cubic yards.

Fill dirt often works with other materials. Here are products that pair with it for a complete project.
Yes. Soils mapped in the Mayo area are commonly moderately well drained, which means the ground accepts water and compacts differently. You may need less base stone under the surface, but the amount of fill dirt itself depends on the depth and area of your project.
Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the quantity ordered. Because Mayo gets about 76 wet days a year, it is wise to schedule delivery on a dry day to keep the access area firm. There is no flat rate; pricing is unique to each order.
The depth depends on your project. For backfill, measure from the foundation to the final grade. For raising a yard, decide how many inches you want to add. Use the fill dirt calculator to convert depth into tons.
The delivery price is based on your ZIP code and the total weight of material. You choose a morning or afternoon window at checkout, and the date must be at least 3 business days from the order date. Once you approve the pre-delivery photo, the order cannot be cancelled.
