Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Randleman address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is one of the cheapest materials you can buy by the ton, but the final number on your invoice depends on where the load is coming from and how far the truck has to travel. For Randleman-area deliveries, Gravel Monkey sources from regional quarries and pits, so the delivered price reflects the local supply chain rather than a national rate.
That rate changes by ZIP code, which is why the checkout tool asks for your address before showing a price. What does not change is the material: clean, structural fill dirt with no organic matter, screened enough to be workable and compactable.
Fill dirt is not a growing medium and will not support plant roots the way topsoil does. Use it for structural work: raising grade, filling holes and backfilling around foundations. The table below lays out the single product Gravel Monkey delivers for these jobs.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Structural fill with no organic matter; not a growing medium |
Every project starts with the same question: how much material and how deep. This table matches the five most common job types to the right fill dirt order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts of 8 to 12 inches |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, tamp as you go |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Allow for settling, usually 10 to 15 percent |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Use clean fill, avoid organic content |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Cap with topsoil if planting |
Randleman gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning should be part of your project from the start. The ground here is in hydrologic group B and takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth under the fill is usually enough to keep the material stable. Soils mapped in the Randleman area are commonly well drained, an area guidance that suggests less base stone may be needed under the surface layer compared to a site with heavy clay.
With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. About 68 days a year drop below 32F, but the frost depth stays shallow and the workable window runs through most of the winter. Those cold days do cause some ground movement, so compacting fill dirt before freezing weather arrives gives a more stable surface through the spring thaw. About 78 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means watching the short-term forecast rather than the calendar.
Randolph County permitted about 553 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to active grading and backfill work on new lots. Whether you are working on a new build or an existing property, the local climate data makes a case for planning the moisture side of the job as carefully as the volume.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the fill. Use the fill dirt calculator to convert your measurements into tons before you order, which saves the cost of a second delivery if you come up short or the hassle of moving extra material if you over-order.
Buying fill dirt by the ton means you pay for the material and the haul, not for bagging or retail markup. You order online, choose a delivery window at checkout (morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm), and a dump truck brings the load to your address in Randleman. Loads range from 1 to more than 40 tons, and free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get 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. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.

Fill dirt goes underneath other materials. These products pair with it or serve as alternatives for the same job.
Soils mapped in the Randleman area are commonly well drained, which means water moves through them rather than pooling. That drainage characteristic does not change the volume of fill dirt you need, but it does mean less base stone may be required under the surface layer compared to a site with poorly drained clay.
About 68 days a year drop below 32F, but the frost depth stays shallow and the ground does not freeze hard enough to stop work for long stretches. You can order fill dirt through most of the winter as long as the ground is not too wet to compact.
Fill dirt is not a growing layer, so depth for planting does not apply the way it does for topsoil. Build grade with fill dirt to the right elevation, then cap it with at least 4 to 6 inches of topsoil for any seeded or sodded area.
Fill dirt is not sold by size fractions the way gravel is. It is a natural, unscreened soil with a mix of clay, sand and silt, and the variation from load to load comes from the source pit, not from a size grade. Every load is workable and compactable for structural fill.
