Fill Dirt in Venice
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising grade, backfill and filling holes. You buy it by the ton online, and Gravel Monkey delivers it in a dump truck to your Venice address. No need to visit a yard or load anything yourself.
Venice gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are part of any fill project. That is why choosing the right material and ordering the right amount matter from the start.
Fill Dirt for Your Venice Project
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is clean, mineral soil with no organic matter. It compacts well and does not settle like topsoil. It is not meant for planting, but it is exactly what you need to change the shape of the ground.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Fill Dirt Job
Soils mapped in the Venice area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need a thicker base layer of stone underneath the fill dirt to keep water from pooling. Around Venice the ground is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, water runs across the surface almost entirely. Drainage planning matters more here than in many places.
Venice has about 70 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important. Only about 1 day a year drops below freezing, which means you can work nearly year round without worrying about frost heave. The ground moves very little from freeze-thaw cycles.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Calculate the volume of the area you are filling: length times width times depth in feet, then convert to cubic yards. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a tonnage estimate fast.
