Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Deming address and unloads right where you point.
If you are raising a low yard or filling a hole, fill dirt is the structural layer that holds everything else up. The local climate in Deming brings only about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are straightforward but still matter for a stable surface.
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is a compactable, low-organic material designed for backfill and grade work. Choose the tonnage you need, book your delivery day online, and a dump truck brings it to your address.
For jobs that need a solid base, fill dirt is the right material. It has little to no organic matter, so it compacts well and settles predictably over time.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compacts to a firm base; ideal under topsoil or hardscape. |
The table below shows typical projects and how to order fill dirt for each. Depths are general guidelines; use the fill dirt calculator for exact tonnage.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, compact every 6 inches |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, allow settling |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6-inch layers |
Deming sees about 92 freezing days a year, which means the ground moves as it freezes and thaws. A well-compacted fill dirt base resists that heaving, keeping patios and driveways level. With only about 23 wet days a year, you can schedule delivery onto firm ground without much worry.
Snowfall averages just 1 inch annually, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rarely a concern. The soils mapped in the Deming area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone needed under the surface layer. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so you can work the soil almost year-round and count on consistent settling.
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and the depth in inches. Multiply to get cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards. One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the easiest way is to use Gravel Monkey's fill dirt calculator to get the exact tonnage for your project.

The amount depends on the depth and area. The ground around Deming is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. Use the fill dirt calculator to convert your dimensions into tons.
Depth depends on the project. For raising grade under turf, 4 to 6 inches after compaction is typical. For a building pad, 6 to 12 inches compacted in lifts works well. The fill dirt calculator can help you adjust depth for your specific job.
