Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Topsham address and unloads right where you point.
Topsham gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is a major concern for any excavation or grading job. Fill dirt helps you build up low areas and direct water away from structures. Because fill dirt is sold by the ton, you can order exactly the amount you need for your project.
Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt directly to your Topsham address, so you never need to haul it yourself. Order online, choose a delivery window, and we drop the load where you mark it.
Fill dirt is a clean, compactable material with no organic matter, ideal for structural fill. Use the table below to see what it is best for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | No organic content, compactable, stable under load |
Fill dirt solves common yard problems. Here are five typical projects and what to order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Building up a pad for a shed or driveway | Fill Dirt | Compacted in lifts; allow for settling |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers, compact each |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill above surrounding grade, compact |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Backfill in lifts, tamp well |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Uniform layer, compact and re-grade |
With about 84 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet soil can rut under the truck, so choose a dry spell. The 72 inches of snowfall mean plows can disturb a loose fill surface, so plan to cover or wait until spring.
Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. Freezing and thawing shifts the ground, so compact fill well and expect some settling. Soils in the Topsham area are mapped as poorly drained, and they belong to hydrologic group A/D. Where the ground is drained, water soaks in quickly; where it is not, most rain runs off. That means drainage planning and sometimes extra base stone under the fill are more important here than in many other places.
To figure out how many tons you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic yards to tons for your Topsham project.

Fill dirt often works with other materials. Consider these for your job.
