Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Kiln address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt and topsoil are not the same thing. Fill dirt is structural material used to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill. It contains no organic matter. Topsoil is the growing layer that goes on top of it. Kiln gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters when you plan your fill project.
Whether you are building up a pad or filling a depression, you need clean fill dirt that compacts well. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk fill dirt to your address in Kiln by the ton, from one ton up to forty or more.
This product is for work that needs a stable base below the surface. Do not use fill dirt where you intend to plant or seed; it lacks the nutrients and texture that roots need. For a growing layer, put topsoil over the compacted fill.
| Product | What It Is For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Not suitable for planting; topsoil goes on top. |
Fill dirt handles the heavy lifting under your site. Here are five typical projects and what to order for each.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts, depth varies |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, let settle |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Measure the area and depth |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches typical |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Deep fill, compaction critical |
With about 76 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. The ground around Kiln is commonly poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the fill layer. The hydrologic group here is C/D, meaning water moves slowly through the soil. Where drainage is good, it takes water in slowly and sheds runoff; where drainage is poor, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage planning and a deeper base more important than in other areas.
About 18 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing is not a major factor. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. Hancock County permitted about 242 single-family homes in 2024, which means many new building sites need fill dirt for grading and foundations.
Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate the tonnage for your project based on the area and depth you plan to fill. The calculator gives you a starting number; you can adjust the quantity at checkout.

Fill dirt works best when combined with other materials. Here are options for the same job.
No, the soil does not change the volume of fill dirt you need to reach your target grade. However, poorly drained soils in the Kiln area mean you may need to add base stone under the fill for drainage. The fill dirt volume stays the same, but the total order may be larger.
Winter conditions rarely stop delivery. Kiln sees about 18 freezing days a year, but the ground does not freeze deeply or for long. Delivery can proceed as long as the site is accessible and not frozen. Heavy rain is more likely to cause a delay than frost.
Fill dirt is not sold in different sizes like gravel. It is a single product: clean mineral soil with no organic matter. All fill dirt we supply is suitable for structural fill, compaction, and grading work.
Do not plant or seed directly into fill dirt. It has no nutrients for plants. You need to spread a layer of topsoil over the compacted fill before seeding or planting. Once the topsoil is in place and watered, you can seed immediately according to the seed instructions.
