Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lisbon address and unloads right where you point.
The most common mistake is using the wrong layer for the job. Fill dirt is for structure, not for planting. In Lisbon, soils mapped in the area are commonly moderately well drained, so the base layer matters for drainage underneath patios or lawns.
Ordering the right fill dirt from Gravel Monkey means getting a clean, compactable material that raises grade without organic matter that later rots and settles. The truck delivers right to your address.
Fill dirt is the base layer. It goes under topsoil, under concrete, under anything that needs to stay put. The table below lists the product Gravel Monkey stocks for Lisbon.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean mineral fill with no organics, consolidates well under weight. |
For budget-driven jobs, fill dirt is the most cost-effective choice. For permanent stability, it is the only choice.

| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Let settle or compact to avoid future dips. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill in stages to avoid large voids. |
Lisbon gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matters more than in drier areas. About 86 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is wise.
Soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained. That is a guide, not a guarantee for your specific lot. The ground around Lisbon is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, but it depends on whether your site has drainage improvements.
About 116 days a year drop below 32F. The ground freezes enough to move, so plan around those months. About 28 inches of snow a year can bury a loose surface and cause plowing damage. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and the depth you plan to fill. Use the fill dirt calculator on the Gravel Monkey site to get a quick total. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives a figure in tons.

Delivery windows are morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). 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.

These materials are often ordered alongside fill dirt or as an alternative for the same job.
Yes, because soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained and the ground is in dual hydrologic group C/D. If your lot is drained, water moves through slowly and more base may be needed. If it is not drained, water runs off quickly and you need less base but better surface drainage. The key is that Lisbon's rainfall of about 42 inches a year means you should always allow for some settling over time.
About 86 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means roughly one in four days is wet enough to make the ground soft. Schedule your delivery onto a period of dry weather so the truck can get to the spot without getting stuck, and so the fill dirt can be placed and compacted properly.
Gravel Monkey stocks one standard fill dirt product. It is a coarse, unscreened mineral fill with no organic matter. All loads are the same specification; you choose the quantity by the ton, not by a size grade.
The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. That gives time for scheduling and load preparation. If you need the material for a specific weekend or project start, order at least a week ahead to secure your preferred window.
