Fill Dirt we deliver in Southern Pines
Fill Dirt in Southern Pines
Southern Pines gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning should be part of any grading job. Fill dirt is the right material for raising grade and directing water away from structures.
Whether you are building a new pad or backfilling a foundation, clean fill dirt gives you a stable base that will not rot or settle unevenly. Order by the ton and get it delivered straight to your address.

Local Ground Conditions in Southern Pines
Soils mapped in the Southern Pines area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means you may need a base layer of stone under the fill dirt to keep the surface from settling into the sandy subsoil. The ground around Southern Pines is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer than in areas with clay soils.
With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. About 62 days a year drop below 32 degrees F. That is enough to cause shallow frost, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. Snowfall is only about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rare.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
Fill dirt is sold by the ton. To estimate your volume, measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then use the fill dirt calculator to convert to tons. It accounts for compaction and the specific weight of the material.

- Sand is used to level and bed pavers over compacted fill.
- Mulch covers topsoil and keeps moisture in around plantings.
- Walkway Gravel works as a traffic surface over a fill base.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fill Dirt in Southern Pines
Do you deliver fill dirt to Southern Pines and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver fill dirt to Southern Pines and many nearby towns. About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain here, so schedule delivery for a window when the ground will be firm and the truck can access the site.
How many tons of fill dirt do I need for my project?
That depends on the area and depth you need to fill. Moore County permitted about 942 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those projects required fill dirt for grading. Use our online calculator to get an estimate in tons based on your measurements.
How deep should the layer be for planting?
Fill dirt is not for planting. It is structural material with no organic matter. If you need a growing layer, order topsoil to go on top of the fill dirt. The topsoil depth for turf is usually 4 to 6 inches.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
We stock one grade of clean fill dirt. It is screened to remove large debris and roots but is not graded by particle size like crushed stone. The material compacts well and is consistent from load to load within regional variation.
