Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your North Judson address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the workhorse for raising grade, filling holes, and backfilling around foundations. North Judson gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, so planning drainage into your fill is important to avoid washout. The right fill dirt gives you a stable layer that won't shift or rot.
Gravel Monkey delivers clean structural fill dirt by the truckload to your property in North Judson and the surrounding area. Loads run from one ton up to 40 tons, and delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout.
Fill dirt is the single material we stock for structural fill. It is a clean, inorganic soil free of organic matter, suitable for compaction. Use it where you need to build up ground, not for planting.

North Judson sees about 40 inches of precipitation each year. That means water management is critical when using fill dirt. You need to make sure the fill is properly compacted and graded to shed water.
About 134 days a year drop below freezing. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Deep and long frost can cause ground movement if fill is not properly compacted before winter. Snowfall averages about 28 inches a year, so plowing can damage a loose fill surface if the work is left exposed.
Soils in the North Judson area are commonly excessively drained. This is mapped for the area and means water moves through the ground quickly. For fill projects, this can mean less need for additional drainage stone under the surface layer. The ground around North Judson soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, which reduces washout risk on a well-compacted fill surface.
To estimate the amount of fill dirt you need, measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert those dimensions into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste, giving you a reliable load size for your order.

Fill dirt is not graded by size like gravel. It is a single material of soil-like particles, free of organic matter. We stock clean fill dirt that is consistent from one load to the next, suitable for compaction and structural fills.
Fill dirt is not suitable for planting directly. You need to add a layer of topsoil for plant growth. After spreading and compacting the fill dirt, add 4 to 6 inches of topsoil, then you can seed or plant as usual.
