Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Jesup address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is not topsoil. It has no organic matter, so it will not support plant roots. You use it to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill around foundations. The growing layer goes on top of that.
Jesup gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year. That means you need to plan for drainage and washout when you build up a slope or fill a low area.
Fill dirt is for structural work, not for planting. It compacts well and settles predictably, which is why contractors use it under slabs and driveways.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compacts in lifts; require base stone on wet soils. |
The table below shows the typical depth or approach for each job. Always compact fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch layers for a stable result.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 12 to 18 inches after compaction |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill to finished grade, then cap with topsoil |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compacted in 6-inch lifts against wall |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Overfill 6 inches to allow for settling |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 4 to 8 inches for drainage improvement |
Wayne County, with about 10,244 residents, permitted 133 new single-family homes in 2024. Many of those lots sit on soils mapped as poorly drained. That means more base stone may be needed under the fill layer to manage moisture.
Soils in the Jesup area are commonly poorly drained. They belong to hydrologic group A/D. Where drained, they soak up water quickly. Where not drained, water runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan to schedule your fill dirt delivery onto firm ground, not after a wet spell. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. Only about 30 days a year drop below 32 degrees, so the ground stays workable most of the year. Frost heave is not a significant factor, which means the fill settles predictably.
Estimating tonnage starts with the volume you need. Measure the length, width, and depth in feet, then convert cubic feet to cubic yards. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Use Gravel Monkey's fill dirt calculator to get a tonnage estimate for your project dimensions.

Yes. Soils mapped in the Jesup area are commonly poorly drained. That means a thinner fill layer may not be enough to keep the surface dry. You may need more fill or a layer of base stone underneath to manage water. Each site is different, but plan for a thicker base than you would on sandy ground.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. The price covers the material, transportation, and the dump truck drop. Jesup has about 72 wet days a year, so schedule delivery when the ground is firm. The cost does not change with weather, but muddy access can affect where the truck can unload.
