Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Cadet address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors order fill dirt by the truckload and know their volumes. Homeowners often buy it for the first time and need guidance. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt to your Cadet address so you can start your project.
Cadet gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, which means you need to plan for drainage and washout. Proper compaction of fill dirt helps prevent settling. The material you order should be structural, not topsoil.
Fill dirt is sold by the ton and used for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. The table below shows the product we offer for Cadet deliveries.

Soils mapped in the Cadet area are commonly well drained, so the base layer under your fill dirt may need adjustment. The area's soil water behavior puts it in hydrologic group B, meaning the ground takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
Cadet gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important. Around 73 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can affect scheduling the delivery onto firm ground. The work window is manageable because most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
About 104 days a year drop below 32F, which means the ground freezes and thaws, affecting how much the fill settles. The frost here is moderate, so the ground is workable for much of the year. Snowfall of about 9 inches a year means plowing can damage a loose surface if the fill is not compacted.
Estimating how much fill dirt you need starts with measuring the area and the desired depth. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic yards to tons based on the density of fill dirt. The calculator gives you a tonnage figure you can order directly.
