Buy Fill Dirt in Minnesota

If you need to raise a low yard or fill a hole, fill dirt is the structural material for the job. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt throughout Minnesota by the ton, straight to your address in a dump truck. Fill dirt has no organic matter, so it settles and holds its grade without shifting.

It is the base layer you put under topsoil if you plan to grow grass or plants. For projects like building up a pad or backfilling around a foundation, fill dirt provides a stable, compacted subgrade that will not rot.

Fill Dirt for Minnesota Projects

The product we deliver is a single grade of fill dirt. It works as the base material under any finish surface. If your project ends with a lawn, you will put topsoil on top. If it ends with gravel or concrete, fill dirt alone is enough.

Minnesota's Climate and Soil Conditions

Across the cities we deliver to in Minnesota, annual precipitation runs from about 27 to 34 inches. Freezing days range from about 161 to 203 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing, which means the ground stays frozen for months at a time.

The dominant soil groups across the served cities are hydrologic groups A and C. That affects how well water drains through the base material. With fill dirt, proper base depth becomes more important in areas with less drainage to prevent frost heave.

Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. Plan your order for a delivery window that works with your project schedule.

How Much Fill Dirt You Need

To work out the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Multiply length by width by depth to get cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards. One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons depending on moisture. Use our fill dirt calculator to get an accurate estimate for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions across Minnesota should change what I order?

The freeze cycle in Minnesota is severe, with 161 to 203 days below freezing depending on location. If you are building a pad or backfilling, a deeper base of fill dirt helps prevent frost heave. In areas with less drainage, compact the fill well to avoid settling during spring thaw.

Do seasonal road restrictions in Minnesota affect delivery?

MnDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit the weight of trucks on certain roads during thaw. This may affect delivery timing or load size in some areas. Gravel Monkey works around these restrictions when they apply.

What sizes of fill dirt are available?

Fill dirt is a single product, not sized like gravel. It is a natural subsoil that is screened for consistency but not sorted by particle size. You order it by the ton, and the load is delivered directly to your site.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order. This applies to fill dirt and any other product on the site.
