Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mansfield address and unloads right where you point.
Many people think any dirt works for a project, but fill dirt is a structural material, not a growing medium. It serves one purpose: support. Fill dirt raises grade, fills holes and backfills foundations without the organic matter that rots and settles.
Mansfield gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. If the fill dirt is not compacted properly, washout can undermine your work. The right material and layering handle the rain.
Every yard project starts with a base layer, then a finish layer. Fill dirt is the base: it builds stable mass under the surface. Topsoil goes on top for grass or plants. Order the size that matches your job.

Fill dirt works well for short-term budget projects. For long-term stability, compaction is key. The table below shows common uses and recommended depths.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, compact in layers. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in lifts, allow for settling. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact to design elevation. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Backfill in layers, compact each. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Raise to desired grade with proper drainage. |
De Soto Parish permitted about 118 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to new construction using fill dirt. The area sees about 70 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule your delivery onto firm ground to avoid a muddy mess.
About 35 days a year drop below 32F, which limits the work window in winter. The ground freezes and thaws, causing soil movement. Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so loose fill dirt won suffer plowing damage.
Soils mapped in the Mansfield area are commonly moderately well drained, meaning you may need base stone under the surface layer. Ground around Mansfield is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Tonnage depends on the volume you need: length times width times depth. One ton of fill dirt covers about one cubic yard when compacted. For an accurate estimate, use the fill dirt calculator to enter your project dimensions and get the right amount.
