Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Posey County address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is clean mineral soil with no organic content, made for structural jobs where settlement is unacceptable. In Posey County, the ground around the county is in a dual hydrologic group: where drained it takes water slowly and sheds runoff, and where not drained it takes water very slowly, meaning most rain runs across the surface. That behavior makes deeper base layers and compacted fill more important here than in many other areas.
You order by the ton online, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings the material to your address. The delivered price appears before you commit, so there are no surprises.
For jobs that need a stable, compactable base, clean fill dirt is the standard choice. The one product we stock for this purpose is listed below.
| Material | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Mineral soil with no organic matter; compacts well for structural fills. |
The table below matches typical job types to the right product and a starting depth guideline. Actual depth depends on the site and soil conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Fill to desired grade, compact in lifts |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill and compact to prevent settling |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compacted fill for foundation support |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Backfill in layers, compact thoroughly |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill with drainage considerations, compact if for structure |
Posey County gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, which calls for careful drainage and washout planning when placing fill. With about 77 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling your delivery when the ground is firm is important to avoid a soft base under the truck.
Soils mapped in the Posey County area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer varies. Areas that are drained behave one way; areas that are not drained behave differently. That is why we ask for your delivery ZIP at checkout to account for local drainage conditions.
About 86 days a year drop below 32F. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. Snowfall averages about 12 inches a year, and plowing a loose fill surface can create ruts if the ground is soft underneath.
Estimating tonnage starts with the volume of the void or the area you want to raise. Measure the length, width, and depth in feet, then use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic feet to tons for the material you are ordering. The calculator accounts for compaction and the density of clean fill dirt.
Buying fill dirt online is straightforward. You select the material and quantity by the ton, enter your ZIP for a delivered price, and choose a delivery window at checkout.

The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) window. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get 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 at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

For jobs that also need a top layer or a stable base, these materials are commonly ordered together.
Yes. The ground around Posey County is in a dual hydrologic group: where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds runoff; where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Because of this, fill dirt may need to be deeper or supplemented with a drainage base to manage water movement. The delivered quantity should account for the site's drainage, which is why we factor your ZIP into the estimate.
Yes. About 86 days a year drop below freezing, so the ground can freeze hard enough to make working the fill difficult. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. Snowfall of about 12 inches a year can also make a loose fill surface messy to plow. Choose a delivery window when the ground is firm and dry.
