Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Sheridan address and unloads right where you point.
A dump truck arrives at your Sheridan address with one load of fill dirt. You mark the drop spot, and the driver places the load there.
Sheridan gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning important for any fill project.
Fill dirt is a structural material, not a growing medium. It is used to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill before adding a finish layer.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | This unprocessed native soil compacts well and contains no organic matter that would rot. |
For each project below, fill dirt is the structural base. Add topsoil on top if the area will be planted.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Backfill in lifts and compact; depth depends on foundation height |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers and tamp; no settling allowance needed |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill and compact in layers to prevent future sinking |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact to 90 percent density; depth varies with final grade |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Spread and grade to the desired level |
Sheridan sees about 113 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. About 49 days each year drop below freezing, affecting the work window and how much the ground moves. Ground freezing itself is not a significant factor here, which expands the months the ground is workable and reduces settling concerns.
Soils mapped in the Sheridan area are commonly poorly drained. This area guidance suggests more or less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Sheridan falls 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, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs between about 2,000 and 3,000 pounds depending on moisture, so knowing your volume in cubic yards helps estimate the tonnage. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert your project dimensions to tons.
