It contains no organic matter, so it compacts well and supports weight. Most fill dirt projects in Post Falls involve building up a pad or evening out a yard.

Post Falls Climate and Soil Impact on Fill Dirt Projects
Post Falls gets about 29 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important when you raise grade or backfill. About 77 days a year bring measurable rain; schedule delivery onto firm ground to avoid truck ruts.
Soils mapped in the Post Falls area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, which can affect how much base stone you need under the surface layer. Snowfall averages about 45 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is something to plan for.
Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need for Your Project
To estimate the tonnage of fill dirt required, measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet. Use our fill dirt calculator to get an accurate load size for your Post Falls project.

Fill Dirt in Post Falls: FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Fill Dirt Delivery in Post Falls
Does the ground in Post Falls freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes. The ground in Post Falls drops below freezing about 132 days a year, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Plan to order fill dirt during the workable season, typically spring to fall, so the ground is firm enough to compact properly.
Does the soil around Post Falls change how much fill dirt I need?
Yes. The ground around Post Falls soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means you may need less drainage stone under the surface, but the fill dirt volume is based on the dimensions of the area you need to fill, not the soil type.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers to rural addresses. The delivery price is based on ZIP code at checkout. Enter your address to see if your location is covered.
What size fill dirt should I choose?
Fill dirt is not sized like gravel; it is a soil material that includes a mix of sand, silt, and clay. For most grade raising and backfill projects, standard fill dirt works well. If you need a cleaner material for specific uses, contact us.
