Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Newport address and unloads right where you point.
Newport gets about 72 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning a real part of any fill job. Ordering the right fill dirt by the ton and getting it delivered means you can build up a grade or backfill a foundation without worrying about settlement that comes from too much moisture.
Fill dirt is the structural foundation for any project that needs a stable base. Whether you are raising a low yard or burying a stump hole, the material you choose determines how well the ground holds up over time.
Our fill dirt is screened to remove large debris and organic matter, giving you a compactable, mineral-based fill. It is the standard choice for any job that needs volume without future settling.

Newport's rainy season brings about 123 wet days a year, meaning you need to schedule a fill dirt delivery onto firm ground. A delivery truck can get stuck if the site is too soft, so choose a dry stretch. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
About 13 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezing here is real but moderate. That affects when the ground is workable and how much it settles once the frost leaves. Lincoln County permitted about 147 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to ongoing development where fill dirt is often needed for new pads and driveways.
Snowfall is about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a minor concern. Still, a graded fill area can rut if driven on when wet. Plan to protect the finished surface until it is compacted or covered.
Estimating tonnage starts with the project area and the depth you plan to add. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons, so for a 10 by 10 foot pad at 6 inches deep you need roughly 2.5 tons. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a more accurate number based on your dimensions and compaction needs.
Ordering is straightforward. You pick the product and quantity online, enter your ZIP for the delivered price, and choose a delivery window at checkout. Morning is 7 am to 12 pm, afternoon is 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off a first order.

Newport sees about 123 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a stretch of dry days so the truck can access the site and the fill can be spread and compacted without washout issues.
Yes. Newport gets about 72 inches of precipitation a year, which is enough to cause erosion and drainage problems if fill dirt is not properly compacted. That kind of rainfall makes it important to grade the site so water runs away from structures and the fill stays in place.
Fill dirt is not sold by particle size but by quality and composition. Our fill dirt is screened to remove debris and organic matter, making it suitable for structural fill. There is one grade, and it works for all the jobs listed in the project table above.
