Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Michigan address and unloads right where you point.
A typical fill dirt project in Michigan requires several tons of material, whether you are raising a low yard or backfilling around a foundation. The exact amount depends on the area and depth of fill needed.
Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt by the ton to addresses across Michigan. The delivered price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and order size.
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is natural, unprocessed soil with no organic matter. It is used for structural purposes such as raising grade, filling holes, and backfill.

Across the cities we deliver to in Michigan, annual precipitation runs from about 33 to 38 inches. This moisture, combined with about 130 to 179 days a year below 32 degrees F, means the ground freezes deeply. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar.
Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. The Michigan Department of Transportation runs a spring load-restriction program that can affect delivery timing in some areas.
The dominant soil groups in our served cities are hydrologic groups A and C/D. This affects how well the fill drains and compacts, so base depth guidance should account for the soil type at your site.
Fill dirt can be delivered to addresses throughout the state. We currently serve the following cities and many others:

To estimate the tonnage, measure the area to be filled in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to find cubic yards. Then use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic yards to tons based on the material's density.
Because fill dirt is a structural material, getting the right amount and type matters for a stable result.
