Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Newburgh address and unloads right where you point.
The most common mistake buyers make is ordering topsoil when they need fill dirt. Fill dirt is a structural material with no organic matter, used for raising grade and backfilling. Topsoil belongs on top of it for planting.
Newburgh gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you reshape the land. Choosing fill dirt over topsoil for the base layer is the first step in a lasting project.
Fill dirt serves as the structural foundation under patios, lawns and structures. It compacts well and provides a stable platform that does not decompose. Use it below any finish surface, not as the top layer itself.

Every project has a budget side and a long-term side. Fill dirt is the long-term option because it stays put and does not rot. The table below matches each job to the right approach.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts; depth depends on foundation height. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Use the fill dirt calculator to find the volume. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers and compact; a geotextile may be needed. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Spread evenly; allow for settling over the first season. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill slightly above grade to account for settling. |
Soils mapped in the Newburgh area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need extra base stone under the surface layer to keep water from pooling. The ground around Newburgh is in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly. Consequently most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 135 days a year drop below 32°F, which limits the work window and causes the ground to move as it freezes and thaws. Newburgh receives about 44 inches of snowfall a year, and plowing can disturb a loose fill surface. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
Enter your project dimensions into our fill dirt calculator to get a tonnage estimate. Depth, width and length all factor into the total. The calculator accounts for compaction and settling so you order the right amount.
