Vincennes gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when placing fill dirt. The material compacts well but must be graded to shed water and avoid washouts. A stable base starts with the right compaction and slope.
Fill dirt is not a growing medium. Use it only for structural fill like raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. It contains no organic matter and will not support plant life. The table below lists the fill dirt we deliver.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Contains no organic matter; compacts to a dense, stable base for structural work. |
The table below matches common projects with the right fill dirt product and a note on installation. Each job requires proper compaction.

Vincennes sees about 98 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, so compacting fill dirt properly is critical. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
The area gets about 12 inches of snow annually. After a snow event, plowing can disrupt a loose fill surface, so finish grading before winter if possible. Soils mapped in the Vincennes area are commonly well drained, which may reduce the amount of base stone needed under the fill layer.
Ground around Vincennes soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is required under the surface layer. Still, proper grading remains essential to direct water away from structures.
To estimate how many tons of fill dirt you need, measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic yards to tons for your Vincennes project.

Ground around Vincennes soaks water up quickly, which means less drainage stone is needed under the fill. The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the volume of the area you are filling, not directly on the soil type.
Fill dirt is not graded by particle size like gravel. It is a fine-grained soil material. The quantity is based on cubic yards needed for your project.
Fill dirt is not used for planting. It contains no organic matter and will not support plant growth. For planting, order topsoil and place it over compacted fill dirt if you need to raise grade first.
