Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Windsor address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers pick fill dirt without thinking about the ground it will sit on. In Windsor, the ground takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in many other places.
Fill dirt is a structural material. It is meant to raise grade, fill holes, and create a stable base. It has no organic matter, so it will not settle or decompose over time. Topsoil is the layer that goes on top.
The right fill dirt builds a foundation that stays put. This is the material you want under pavers, sheds, or a new lawn grade. The table below shows what we offer.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean, screened fill with no organic content. Compactible and stable. |
Each project has a budget option and a long-term option. For fill dirt, the long-term choice is always the same material, applied at the right depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches after compaction |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, compact each lift |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | 2 to 3 feet above water table |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 4 to 6 inches compacted base |
Windsor gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year. That much water means you need to plan for drainage and washout. The soil around here takes water in very slowly, so a well-compacted base of fill dirt is especially important.
About 148 days a year drop below freezing. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. The ground freezing and thawing can move an unstable base. Using enough fill dirt and compacting it well reduces that movement.
Snowfall averages about 69 inches a year. If you spread fill dirt before a snow season, plowing can damage the loose surface. Plan the work so the surface can be graded and compacted before snow arrives.
Fill dirt is sold by the ton. To figure out the tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet. That gives cubic feet. Then use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic feet to tons. The calculator also shows how much you need for the exact depth you choose.

Pair fill dirt with these materials to finish the job right.
Yes. The ground around Windsor is in a hydrologic group that takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means you need a deeper, better-compacted base of fill dirt to keep water from pooling or washing out the fill. Plan for at least 6 to 8 inches of compacted fill under any surface that must stay stable.
Windsor sees about 86 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That is enough to soften the ground and make delivery tricky. Schedule your delivery onto firm, dry ground. A morning or afternoon window can be chosen at checkout to match the weather.
We stock one size of fill dirt: a screened, compactible fill with no organic matter. It is not graded by particle size like gravel. The material is consistent and works for any structural fill job. For surface finishes, use a different product like crushed gravel or topsoil.
Order at least 3 business days before your preferred delivery date. You choose the date and a morning or afternoon window at checkout. After you place the order, we send a confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the load.
