Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Burley address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is a staple for any project that needs to change the ground level or fill a void. In Burley, typical loads range from a few tons for a small stump hole to more than 40 tons for a house pad or yard raise.
The area gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so washout and drainage should be part of your plan. Choosing fill dirt gives you a stable, compactable base that will not rot or settle unevenly.
We carry one type of fill dirt that works for most structural uses. It is unscreened natural soil, ideal for raising grade and backfilling. All orders are delivered by dump truck to your address.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Structural fill with no organic matter. Compacted in lifts for a stable subbase. |
These are the five projects that call for fill dirt most often in the Burley area. Each one starts with a good estimate of the volume you need.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill dirt | Place in lifts and compact. Use calculator for tonnage. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill dirt | Allow for settlement. Compact every 8 to 12 inches. |
| Building up a pad for a shed or garage | Fill dirt | Depth depends on finished grade. Use calculator. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill dirt | Add 6 to 12 inches after compaction. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill dirt | Fill in layers and water to settle. |
Soils mapped in the Burley area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need a bit more base stone under the surface layer to keep the fill stable. This is area guidance, not a statement about your specific lot.
Burley gets about 24 inches of snow each year. Plowing a drive or walk over loose fill can rut and damage the surface before it is compacted. Plan to finish grading before heavy snow arrives.
Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. With about 157 freezing days a year, the ground freezes deep and stays frozen long. That affects the workable window and how much the fill settles when it thaws.
To estimate the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide the finished depth after compaction. Use our fill dirt calculator to turn those numbers into tons. The calculator accounts for the density of compacted fill dirt.

Fill dirt has no organic matter, so it will not support plant roots on its own. Cover it with at least 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding. Wait until the fill dirt has settled through one wet-dry cycle, usually a few weeks to a season, then add topsoil and plant.
We stock one type of fill dirt for structural use. It is not graded by particle size like gravel. What you get is unscreened natural soil that compacts well. If you need a different texture, consider topsoil for the surface layer or a crushed aggregate for improved drainage.
