Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Stigler address and unloads right where you point.
A common mistake is ordering topsoil when the job needs fill. Topsoil contains organic matter that rots and settles, so it works poorly for raising grade or backfilling. Fill dirt has no organic content and compacts to a stable base.
Stigler gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year. That means any fill you put down needs to drain well or the base can move. Fill dirt is the material you use below grade, where drainage planning matters most.
The key distinction here is between a structural fill and a growing surface. Fill dirt is the foundation layer; it goes in first, compacts, and stays stable. Topsoil, if needed, goes above it.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean, screened, no organic debris. Compacts well. |
Each of these jobs can be done with fill dirt. The depth and compaction method change, but the material is the same. Compare your project against the rows below.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches after compaction |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, tamp as you go |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Deeper fills may require geotextile |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Use clean fills to avoid voids |
Stigler records about 65 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground becomes important because wet soil can rut under the truck. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
The area sees roughly 72 freezing days each year, which shortens the window for working the fill before the ground freezes. That frost also causes some movement in the soil over winter, so a compacted base at the right depth matters. Snowfall is about 2 inches annually, enough that plowing can disturb a loose surface if you spread fill late in the season.
Soils mapped in the Stigler area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need a deeper base stone layer under the fill. The ground around Stigler takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That runoff behavior makes proper drainage planning and a compacted base more important here than in other regions.
To find the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in feet, and divide by the cubic yards per ton. Use the fill dirt calculator to get a quick number for your project dimensions.

Many fill dirt jobs benefit from a surface layer or a companion aggregate. Consider these materials for the same site.
Delivery pricing is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. The price depends on your address and the amount ordered. No standard rate exists because Gravel Monkey sources from regional quarries, so the cost varies by location.
The amount needed depends on the area and depth. A typical cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.4 tons. Use the online calculator linked above to estimate your project's tonnage.
