Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Anson address and unloads right where you point.
Anson gets about 176 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. That long freeze shortens the window for spreading and grading fill dirt to late spring through fall.
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising grade, backfill, and filling holes. Ordering by the ton and scheduling delivery around the weather is the standard approach here.
Fill dirt is the single most-ordered material in Anson for structural grading work. It provides a stable base for foundations, driveways, and yard raising.
| Product | What It Is For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean fill without organic matter, compactable for stable foundations and structural fills. |
Here are five typical projects and the product and depth to use:
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Building up a pad | Fill dirt | Compact in 8 to 12 inch lifts |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill dirt | Allow for settling; order 10 percent extra |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill dirt | Compact thoroughly, keep drainage paths clear |
| Raising a low yard | Fill dirt | Bring grade up gradually, plan for 4 to 6 inches |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill dirt | Use clean fill, compact in layers |
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Anson gets about 176 days a year below 32F, so a stable base needs to be set before the ground freezes solid. Snowfall averages 81 inches a year, and plowing can disturb a loose surface if you spread fill too late in the season.
Soils mapped in the Anson area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That can mean less base stone is needed under the fill, but you should check your own soil conditions. Ground in the area soaks water quickly and produces little runoff, which reduces the need for additional drainage stone beneath the surface layer.
Estimating the tonnage starts with the volume you need. Fill dirt is sold by the ton, and a cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 2,200 pounds. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a quick estimate based on your area and depth.
