Fill Dirt in New Iberia
Iberia Parish permitted about 99 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to steady demand for fill dirt in new construction. Many of those lots need grading and backfill before anything else can happen.
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising low spots, filling holes, and building up around foundations. It compacts well and contains no organic matter, so it does not settle over time like topsoil does.
Fill dirt sizes and uses for New Iberia projects
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey comes in loads that run from one ton to more than 40 tons. The amount you need depends on the project, and the calculator on this page helps you pin that down.
| Product | Use for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compactable, low organic content, good for structural fill. |

What New Iberia's climate and soil mean for your fill dirt project
New Iberia gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year. That much rainfall makes drainage planning important when you bring in fill dirt. With about 77 days a year that have at least a tenth of an inch of rain, you will want to schedule your delivery onto firm ground.
The area sees about 14 days a year when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That narrows the work window a bit but does not make ground freezing a major concern. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Soils mapped in the New Iberia area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than in well-drained areas.
Estimating how much fill dirt you need
To work out the tonnage of fill dirt your project requires, measure the length and width of the area in feet and the depth you need in inches. Multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3 for the tonnage. For an easy calculation, use our fill dirt calculator.

Frequently asked questions about fill dirt in New Iberia
Do you deliver fill dirt to New Iberia and the surrounding area?
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt to New Iberia and many nearby towns. The ground around New Iberia takes water in slowly because it is in hydrologic group C, which means a deeper drainage layer is often needed. We serve the whole region from our network of suppliers.
How much does fill dirt delivery cost in New Iberia?
Delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout and depends on the distance and load size. Ground freezing is not a significant factor here, so the ground is workable nearly year-round, which keeps scheduling straightforward. Loads run from one ton to 40 tons, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders.
How long before I can plant or seed on it?
Fill dirt does not contain organic matter, so it is not meant for planting directly. You need to add a layer of topsoil on top of the fill dirt before seeding or planting.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
Fill dirt is not sold by size but by volume. It is a homogeneous material with no organic matter, suitable for structural fill. The only consideration is the amount you need, not the particle size.
