Buy Fill Dirt in Missouri

The delivered cost of fill dirt in Missouri depends on the tonnage you need and where the truck drops it. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt by the ton to addresses across the state.

Fill dirt is structural material for grading and backfill. It contains no organic matter, so it compacts well and supports weight. Order online and get a price at checkout based on your ZIP code.

Fill dirt is not for planting. Use it for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill around foundations. It compacts to a firm base that holds its shape.

Common Fill Dirt Projects in Missouri

Each project needs the right amount of fill dirt. Here is a quick guide.

Conditions Across Missouri That Affect Fill Dirt

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Missouri runs from about 42 to 48 inches. Soils in the dominant hydrologic groups C and D drain slowly. That means a fill dirt base may need extra depth to stay stable under wet conditions.

Freezing days range from about 95 to 117 days a year below 32F across the state. Most of Missouri sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. An unstable base can heave when the freeze cycle starts. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.

The freeze-thaw cycle also affects compaction timing. Materials placed in fall have time to settle before the ground freezes. Spring fills need careful compaction to avoid washout from spring rains.

How Much Fill Dirt You Need

Fill dirt is sold by the ton. To estimate the tonnage for your project, measure the length, width, and depth in feet. Multiply them to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 2,000 to 2,500 pounds depending on moisture. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a quick tonnage estimate for any job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do seasonal road restrictions in Missouri affect delivery?

Yes, seasonal road restrictions can affect delivery, especially in spring. Missouri experiences freeze-thaw conditions with 95 to 117 freezing days per year, which can lead to load limits on certain roads. Gravel Monkey will keep you updated on any major delay that affects your order.

What conditions across Missouri should change what I order?

The amount of rainfall varies from 42 to 48 inches across served cities. In areas with more rain, you may need a thicker fill dirt base to keep drainage working. The dominant soil groups C and D also mean slower drainage, so base depth matters more than in sandy soils.

What else is usually ordered with fill dirt?

Fill dirt is structural and has no organic matter. Topsoil is the growing layer that goes on top of it. Many customers order topsoil with fill dirt to have both base and surface material delivered together.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes, use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order. The code applies to qualifying orders.
