Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Fillmore address and unloads right where you point.
If you are raising the grade of a low yard or backfilling against a foundation, fill dirt is the structural base you need. For the top layer that supports grass or plants, you would turn to topsoil.
Fillmore gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you place fill dirt.
Fill dirt is the base material for structural fills. It contains no organic matter, so it will not decompose and settle.
| Fill Dirt | For raising grade, filling holes, and backfill | Compacts well and supports weight without settling. |
For any of these projects, fill dirt offers an economical option. The depth you choose affects the total tonnage.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill dirt | Depth varies; compact in lifts |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill dirt | Fill to grade, allow settling |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill dirt | Fill to ground level |
| Raising a low yard | Fill dirt | Typically 6 to 12 inches |
| Building up a pad | Fill dirt | Compacted in layers |
Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. Fillmore has about 157 days a year that drop below 32F. That long freeze means the ground is workable only after it thaws in spring, and the fill will settle differently than in warmer areas.
About 93 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important because wet soil can make the truck slump and the fill shift. The 40 inches of annual precipitation also means you should plan for surface drainage so water does not pool on the new fill.
Ground around Fillmore is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That means the need for a deeper base or extra stone depends on the drainage at your specific site. This is area guidance, not a guarantee of your own soil.
To estimate the tons you need, measure the area and depth in feet, then use the fill dirt calculator to get a cubic-yard figure and convert it to tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and the weight of fill dirt.

Fill dirt is the base; these materials go under, over, or beside it for a complete project.
Soils mapped in the Fillmore area are commonly moderately well drained. That means the base may need more or less stone depending on your site. The fill depth you need will vary, but the calculator gives a good starting point.
About 93 days a year in Fillmore bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery on a dry day helps ensure the ground is firm enough for the truck and the fill to stay in place. Wet ground can cause ruts and uneven settling.
Fill dirt comes in one size: unscreened natural soil with no organic matter. It is not graded by particle size. For projects that need a specific texture, such as a smooth finish, you might consider topsoil or crushed stone.
Orders must be placed at least 3 business days before your desired delivery date. You select a morning or afternoon window at checkout. If you need a specific day, ordering a week ahead is safest.
