Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Fayetteville address and unloads right where you point.
When you need to raise the grade or backfill around a new structure, the easiest way to get the material is a dump truck delivery. You mark the spot, and the truck dumps the fill dirt exactly where you need it.
Fayetteville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage around your fill area is important. That is why it helps to order enough fill dirt to allow for slight settling and a slight crown to shed water.
Fill dirt is a structural base material, not a growing medium. It is used to raise grade, fill holes, and provide a stable base for concrete, asphalt, or topsoil. Below is the product we offer.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Screened for consistency and compacted for load-bearing stability. |
Fill dirt is the budget-friendly choice for large volume fill. For projects that need a finished surface, you add a top layer of topsoil or gravel.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in layers for stability |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Moisten and compact to prevent settling |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Build in lifts and test compaction |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Top with topsoil for final grade |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Water and tamp to avoid voids |
Fayetteville sees about 79 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you should plan the delivery for a period of firm ground to avoid rutting from the dump truck. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
About 52 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause the ground to shift. But ground freezing is not a significant factor here, so the ground is workable for most of the year.
The soil around Fayetteville is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate. This means standard base depths for drainage are usually enough without extra underlayment.
To figure out the volume of fill dirt your project requires, measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic yards to tons and get an instant estimate.

Fill dirt is the base; these materials go on top or alongside it for a finished project.
The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the dimensions of the area, not the soil type. However, the well-drained soils mapped in the Fayetteville area mean the base under the fill is stable, so you can order the volume needed without extra allowance for poor ground.
Yes, Fayetteville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so washout is a real concern. Proper compaction and shaping the fill to shed water will prevent erosion.
Fill dirt is sold by the ton, not in different sizes. The common choice is to order exactly the tonnage calculated from your volume. For most projects, a single truckload of 15 to 20 tons is typical.
Fill dirt is not used for the planting layer. It is structural material for raising grade. For planting, order topsoil and spread it 6 to 12 inches deep on top of the fill dirt. The depth of the fill dirt itself depends on the grade change you need.
