Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Greenfield address and unloads right where you point.
Buying fill dirt in Greenfield means ordering it by the ton online, then having it delivered to your address by dump truck. Greenfield gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout matters when you choose where to place the load.
Gravel Monkey sells fill dirt as a structural material for raising grade, filling holes and backfilling. You pick your delivery window at checkout, and the truck brings the load to your site.
Fill dirt is not topsoil. It has no organic matter, so it will not support plant roots. Use it for work that needs a stable, compactable base beneath a finished surface.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Screened to remove debris but not graded by particle size. |
Each project calls for a specific depth and placement. The table below matches common jobs with the right material and a typical depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in lifts and compact each layer. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches compacted for a stable base. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place in 6-inch lifts, tamp between layers. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 2 to 4 inches for gentle grade changes. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill entirely and mound slightly to settle. |
Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. About 115 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which limits the work window and affects how much the ground moves as it freezes and thaws.
Greenfield sees about 84 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because wet soil can rut under a loaded truck. About 20 inches of snow falls each year, and plowing can damage a loose fill surface before it is compacted.
Soils mapped in the Greenfield area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This area guidance means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than in better-drained spots. The ground around Greenfield falls into dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds much across the surface; where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly and most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Use our fill dirt calculator to figure the tons you need. Enter the length, width and depth of the area, and the calculator gives a tonnage estimate based on typical bulk density. That number tells you what to order at checkout.
Buying is straightforward. You order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. Loads run from one ton to over 40 tons, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order.
You choose a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
Someone must be present during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. Read more on our Delivery information page, see Customer reviews, or learn About Gravel Monkey.
Fill dirt is structural. Pair it with materials that go on top or alongside for a complete job.
Yes, because soils mapped in the Greenfield area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Poor drainage means you may need a deeper base of fill or additional stone to keep the surface stable. The exact amount depends on your site and the soil conditions there.
Yes. About 115 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground can freeze to a moderate depth. Delivery windows narrow during that stretch, so plan your order for either side of the cold months. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days out, and firm ground is needed for truck access.
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is not graded by particle size like gravel. It is screened to remove debris and sold by the ton. The material is consistent in composition – a mix of soil, sand and clay with no organic matter. There are no separate size options.
Fill dirt is structural and does not support plant roots. You need a layer of topsoil over the fill before planting. After placing and compacting the fill, cover it with at least 4 to 6 inches of topsoil, then seed or sod as usual.
