Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Friendship address and unloads right where you point.
A typical fill dirt project in Friendship might take anywhere from 5 to 50 tons, depending on how much the ground needs to come up. Raising a low yard by 6 inches over a 1,000-square-foot area uses about 15 tons.
Friendship gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning is part of any grading project. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt by the ton, so you order exactly what your survey or layout calls for.
Fill dirt is the base layer for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. It has no organic matter, so it will not settle or decompose over time. We stock one grade of fill dirt, and it is available in any quantity from 1 to over 40 tons.

Soils mapped in the Friendship area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Friendship is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the fill dirt.
Friendship sees about 168 days a year below freezing, and about 72 inches of snowfall. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. The long freeze-and-thaw cycle means fill dirt should be placed and compacted in dry, unfrozen conditions to avoid settling later.
Estimating fill dirt tonnage starts with measuring the area and the desired depth. Our fill dirt calculator converts cubic yards to tons based on the material's density. Enter your dimensions to get a precise order total before you check out.

Fill dirt contains no organic matter, so it is not a growing medium. You need to cap it with at least 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before planting or seeding. The deep frost in Friendship can delay the timing if the ground is still frozen.
We stock a single grade of fill dirt. It is not sized like gravel; it is a blended earthen material screened for consistency. The difference from other materials like topsoil or crushed stone is its composition and intended use as structural fill.
