Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Duncannon address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is measured by the ton, not the bag. A small project like filling a stump hole might need only a few tons, while raising a low yard can take dozens.
With about 48 inches of precipitation a year in Duncannon, any fill project should plan for drainage and compaction. Raising the grade with fill dirt helps keep water away from structures.
We carry one standard fill dirt product. It works for most structural fill needs.

Duncannon sees about 111 days a year with temperatures below freezing. This limits the working season for fill dirt jobs. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
The area averages 82 wet days a year. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground can help avoid ruts and compaction issues. About 28 inches of snowfall can mean plowing damage to a loose surface if you spread fill dirt in winter.
Soils mapped in the Duncannon area are commonly well drained. This means you may need less base stone under a surface layer. The ground around Duncannon takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for fill projects.
Measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in feet, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Then multiply by the material's weight per cubic yard to estimate tons. Use our fill dirt calculator to do the math in seconds.
