Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Iberia address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the structural backbone of any grading or backfill job. You buy it by the ton, online, and a dump truck delivers it straight to your address in Iberia. Iberia gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you use fill dirt to raise grade.
There are no minimum tonnage games and no hidden fees. You pick the material, choose a delivery window, and the truck shows up on schedule.
Fill dirt is not for growing anything. It contains no organic matter and is meant to support weight and hold shape. Use it to change the grade, fill holes, or backfill around structures.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Delivered by the ton; compact it in lifts for stable results. |
These are the projects that call for fill dirt. Each one needs enough material to reach the right grade and compaction.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to 6 inches above grade to allow for settling |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers, compacting every 12 inches |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Minimum 4 inches of compacted fill before the surface layer |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Add 2 to 4 inches over the existing grade |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place and tamp in lifts to avoid voids |
Iberia sees about 68 wet days a year, meaning at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery onto firm ground so the truck can dump without bogging down. The ground here freezes on about 101 days a year, which shrinks the workable season for compacting fill dirt.
Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. Snowfall averages about 10 inches annually, and plowing a loose fill dirt surface can tear it up. Wait until the ground is firm before spreading.
Ground around Iberia is in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. That means base stone under the fill dirt is worth considering.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. Use the fill dirt calculator on our site to get a rough number before you order. The calculator accounts for compaction settle.
Ordering is done online. You enter your delivery ZIP code, pick the tonnage, and choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days out. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the day with the window and a photo of the load. Delivery only happens after you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. If the access road is narrower than 12 feet, the crew gets as close as they safely can.

Fill dirt often needs a companion material above it or beside it. These products pair well in Iberia.
The cost depends on your ZIP code and the tonnage you need. Soils mapped in the Iberia area are commonly moderately well drained, which may mean you need base stone under the fill, adding to the total material. Check your total at checkout with your delivery address.
