Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Quemado address and unloads right where you point.
People order fill dirt in Quemado to raise a building pad, fill a low yard or bury a stump. Catron County properties often sit on uneven ground that needs a stable base before anything else goes in.
Quemado gets about 13 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage and washout planning a real part of any fill project, especially on a new pad that might redirect water toward a structure.
Fill dirt is unscreened earth that contains rock, clay and sand. It is used for structural work, not for growing things. The load you get can vary by region, but it always serves the same purpose: adding stable volume below grade.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Unscreened, compacts well, no organic matter |
These five projects are the ones that keep the dump trucks coming. Use the table to match your job to the right order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Fill to final grade, compact in lifts |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to surface, let settle |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill to desired level, compact |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers, tamp evenly |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Spread 6 to 12 inches, slope for drainage |
The freeze cycle matters here. Quemado sees about 194 days a year drop below 32 degrees F. Ground that freezes and thaws will heave an unstable base, so fill needs to be well compacted and placed when the ground is workable.
Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. About 23 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can damage a loose surface, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground after a thaw.
Soil around Quemado takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of gravel or crushed rock below the fill earns its place, especially on a pad that needs to stay dry under a structure.
Fill dirt is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the area and the depth you plan to fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a rough tonnage for your project before you order.

Fill dirt does the heavy lifting below grade. These materials go with it to finish the job.
Yes. With about 194 freezing days a year, the ground moves as it thaws. Order extra fill dirt to account for settling that can happen after the first freeze-thaw cycle. A good rule is to add 10 to 15 percent more than your calculated volume.
They can. About 23 inches of snowfall a year means snow on the access road or at the drop site can delay a delivery. Gravel Monkey will not schedule a delivery onto a surface that is not firm and accessible, but it is up to you to clear the area.
