Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Santa Rosa address and unloads right where you point.
Santa Rosa gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout need to be part of any fill job. Fill dirt is a structural material that holds its shape and does not settle unevenly, so it works well for raising grade and filling holes where water management matters.
Whether you are backfilling around a foundation or building up a pad for a new shed, the right fill dirt makes the difference. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk fill dirt to Santa Rosa by the ton, priced by ZIP at checkout.
Fill dirt is the go-to material for structural jobs in Santa Rosa. It compacts well and contains no organic matter that could rot and cause settling.

Santa Rosa gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year. That calls for planning drainage and washout when you put down fill dirt. If the ground slopes, make sure the surface layer lets water run off.
About 115 days a year drop below 32F, and frost penetrates the ground for a stretch each winter. That limits the workable window for digging and compacting. Snowfall averages about 11 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose fill surface. Plan your fill dirt delivery for either side of the cold months. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
Soils mapped in the Santa Rosa area are commonly poorly drained. Ground around Santa Rosa is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate, but where it is not, water runs across the surface. That means a deeper base of fill and a careful slope grade matter more here than in many places. It depends on your specific drainage, so check your property's lay of the land.
To figure out how many tons of fill dirt your project needs, use the fill dirt calculator. Enter the length, width and depth, and it will give you the tonnage. The calculator works for any shape you have.

Yes, we deliver fill dirt to Santa Rosa and neighboring towns. Delivery is by dump truck to your address. Santa Rosa gets about 15 inches of rain a year, so we recommend planning the delivery for a dry stretch.
The amount depends on the volume you need to fill. Use the fill dirt calculator on our site to get an estimate. For a typical pool or pond, you might need several tons. About 115 days a year drop below freezing here, which can affect how much the ground moves, so compact the fill properly.
Fill dirt is not for planting. It is a structural material with no organic matter. For a growing layer, put topsoil on top of the fill dirt. The topsoil depth depends on what you are planting.
