Fill Dirt we deliver in Mississippi State
Fill Dirt in Mississippi State
Mississippi State sits in Oktibbeha County, a mix of rural lanes and in-town lots where fill dirt is often the first material ordered for a building site or a low yard. The area sees about 58 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout is part of any fill project.
Fill dirt is a structural material with no organic matter. It raises grade, fills holes and provides a stable base for surfaces that will be paved or built on.

How weather and soil affect your fill dirt order in Mississippi State
Mississippi State gets about 58 inches of precipitation a year, so you need to plan for water running across the fill surface during and after the job. About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling the delivery onto ground that is firm enough for the truck.
About 58 days a year drop below 32F in Mississippi State. That moderate freeze-thaw cycle can move the ground, so fill placed late in the fall may need more time to settle before building on it. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Ground around Mississippi State takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That runoff behavior means a deeper base of fill dirt or a drainage layer underneath is more important here than in areas with faster-draining soil.
Estimating how much fill dirt you need
To figure the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and the depth of fill you want. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons. Use the fill dirt calculator to get a quick estimate based on your dimensions.

Frequently asked questions about fill dirt in Mississippi State
Does the ground in Mississippi State freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes, but only moderately. About 58 days a year drop below 32F, so the ground freezes and thaws through winter. That means fill placed in late fall may settle more than fill placed in spring, so plan your order accordingly.
Does the soil around Mississippi State change how much fill dirt I need?
Yes. Soils mapped in the Mississippi State area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, which can mean more base stone is needed under the fill to keep it stable.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across the region, including rural routes. The delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout, so enter your full address to see the cost.
