Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Louisburg address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising grade, filling holes, and backfilling. Louisburg gets about 40 inches of precipitation each year, so drainage planning is a key part of any fill dirt project. You order fill dirt by the ton for dump-truck delivery straight to your address.
Below is the product we stock for Louisburg deliveries. Choose the one that fits your job, then use the calculator to estimate tons.
One product covers most structural fill work. It is clean, compactable dirt without organic matter.

| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6-inch layers. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill slightly above grade to allow settlement. |
Soils mapped in the Louisburg area are commonly moderately well drained. That usually means you need less base stone under the surface layer than in heavier clay areas. But the ground around Louisburg is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your fill dirt earns its place here.
About 110 days a year drop below 32 degrees F. That freezing limits the work window for grading and compacting fill dirt. Plan major earthmoving for spring or fall when the ground is thawed and workable. About 10 inches of snow fall each year, and snow plowing can damage a loose fill surface if you spread it late in the season.
Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
To estimate tons, measure the length and width of the area and the desired depth in feet. Multiply them to get cubic feet, then convert to tons. Our fill dirt calculator does the math for you with your project dimensions.
Order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings 1 to 40-plus tons to your address. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $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 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 goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. For more details, see our delivery information page, read about Gravel Monkey, or check customer reviews.
About 61 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you should schedule your delivery for a stretch of dry weather so the ground is firm enough for the truck and for spreading. Wet days slow down compaction and can leave ruts.
Yes. The ground around Louisburg is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That runoff can wash loose fill dirt if you do not plan drainage. A deeper drainage layer under the fill dirt helps prevent erosion.
Fill dirt is not sold by size like gravel; it is a single product of screened earth. It works for raising grade, filling holes, and backfilling. No other size is needed for structural fill. Order the amount you need by tonnage.
