Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Roxboro address and unloads right where you point.
When you need to raise a low area or fill a hole, fill dirt is the material to use. It is sold by the ton, and a single dump truck load covers a lot of ground. Most residential jobs need several tons to do the work properly.
Roxboro gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so any addition of fill dirt should account for water flow. The material itself is compactable and stable, but the site needs to be graded to direct runoff away from structures.
Fill dirt is a natural soil material without organic matter. It is used for structural purposes like raising grade and backfilling. It compacts well and provides a stable base under concrete or asphalt. In Roxboro, the fill dirt we supply is sourced regionally and delivered in bulk by the ton.

Roxboro sees about 78 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need to plan your delivery for a period of dry weather so the truck can access the site without getting stuck.
Freezing temperatures occur about 87 days a year, which can affect how the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. However, ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the workable season extends through most of the year. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Soils in the Roxboro area are commonly well drained, which means water moves through the ground readily. For fill dirt projects, this generally means you need less base stone underneath compared to heavy clay soils. The ground around Roxboro takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually adequate.
To estimate how many tons of fill dirt you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by that factor. You can use our fill dirt calculator to enter your dimensions and get a precise tonnage estimate.
