Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your New Bern address and unloads right where you point.
Ordering fill dirt by the ton online is straightforward in New Bern. New Bern gets about 57 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matters when you set grade with fill dirt. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt to your address in single loads up to 40-plus tons.
Fill dirt is structural, not fertile. It raises low spots, fills holes, and backfills around foundations. You choose the date and delivery window at checkout, and the dump truck arrives within the city.
Fill dirt is not for planting because it contains no organic matter. It is meant for grade changes and void filling where compaction matters. One product serves most structural needs.

New Bern receives about 57 inches of precipitation annually, so fill dirt placed here needs to be graded to shed water. About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, meaning scheduling the delivery onto firm ground improves compaction results. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season.
Around New Bern, soils are mapped as somewhat excessively drained. This is area guidance, not your specific soil. The ground in the New Bern area is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer of fill dirt. About 43 days a year drop below 32F, but the ground does not freeze deeply, so the work window stays open most of the year.
Calculate how many tons you need by entering your dimensions into our fill dirt calculator. It gives a starting estimate based on length, width, and desired depth.
You order online by the ton. The delivered price is calculated by your ZIP at checkout. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery.
You receive an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded.

Access requires a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Fill dirt often works alongside other materials for a complete job.
The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the volume of the space you are filling, not on the native soil. Soils in the New Bern area are mapped as somewhat excessively drained, so water will not pool in the fill. That means you do not need extra depth for drainage, but the grade change determines the yardage.
New Bern has about 43 days a year below freezing, but the ground rarely freezes deeply. Delivery can proceed on days above freezing. The main winter concern is wet ground, not frozen ground. If the site is firm enough for a truck, the delivery can go ahead.
Fill dirt is not graded by size like gravel. It is a single product: a mixture of soil and subsoil with no organic matter. It is not screened into different dimensions. One consistency works for all structural fills.
Fill dirt is not a growing medium. You need to place topsoil over it before planting or seeding. Once the fill dirt is compacted and graded, you can spread topsoil immediately. Allow the topsoil to settle, then seed or plant as normal.
