Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Clovis address and unloads right where you point.
Many people order topsoil when what they really need is fill dirt. The two materials are different, and using the wrong one can cost you time and money.
Fill dirt is a structural material with little organic matter. It compacts well and holds its shape, making it the right choice for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. Clovis gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year, so proper drainage planning matters when you build up a surface with fill.
Fill dirt sits under the finished surface. In Clovis, the ground freezes about 104 days a year, so you need a stable base that will not heave or settle unevenly. Clean, screened fill dirt delivers that strength.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean, screened fill dirt that compacts well; ideal for structural fill and site grading. |
Each job needs a specific approach. The table below shows what to order and how to prepare.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to level with surrounding grade; compact in lifts. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Add enough to achieve desired slope away from the house. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Remove liner or debris first; fill in 6-inch compacted layers. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place in 6-inch lifts and compact each layer for stability. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Build to design height; ensure even compaction throughout. |
Clovis has about 32 wet days a year when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is smart. The area also sees about 9 inches of snowfall annually, which can loosen a fresh fill surface if you plow it before the material has settled.
Soils mapped in the Clovis area are commonly well drained. That means standard base depths are usually enough under the surface layer. The ground around Clovis is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so your fill will shed moisture without needing extra drainage work. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Frost is moderate here, with about 104 freezing days a year. That shortens the work window but does not stop it entirely. Plan to finish grading before the ground freezes hard, and account for some settling once it thaws.
Calculate the volume of your project in cubic feet, then convert to tons using our fill dirt calculator. Enter the length, width, and depth, and the tool tells you the tonnage. Cover a known area at the right depth, then add 5 to 10 percent for compaction loss.

Fill dirt is priced by the ton, and the total depends on the quantity and your ZIP code at checkout. Clovis gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year, which can affect drainage planning and the amount of fill needed, but the cost itself is standard for the region. Delivery is priced by your ZIP, so the rate adjusts for your specific location.
Use our calculator to convert cubic feet into tons. Soils mapped in the Clovis area are commonly well drained, so standard base depths are usually sufficient. The calculator accounts for compaction loss, giving you a reliable estimate.
Depth depends on the final grade you need. For a pad or base, plan for at least 12 inches of compacted fill to support the surface above. For backfill around a foundation, match the original grade. The calculator helps you set the right depth for your project size.
Fill dirt is sold by the ton. One ton typically covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but that varies with compaction. The calculator on our site converts volume to tons using the material's density.
