Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Rhode Island address and unloads right where you point.
Gravel Monkey brings fill dirt to your Rhode Island address in a dump truck. You mark the drop spot, the driver tips the load, and the truck leaves. That is the whole delivery: one drop, one invoice, one truck.
Fill dirt is the structural base under patios, lawns and foundations. We sell it by the ton and price delivery at checkout for any Rhode Island address.
Fill dirt is unscreened mineral soil with no organic matter. It compacts well and handles drainage better than topsoil for sub-grade work. Use it wherever you need to raise ground level or backfill a void.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Structural fill that compacts and drains before finish grade. |
Every project needs a consistent product and a measured depth. The table below gives a starting point for five typical uses.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in 12-inch lifts; depth varies by wall height. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Plan for 4 to 6 inches of fill after compaction. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill above grade to account for settlement. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Minimum 6 inches of compacted fill for a stable base. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Depth equal to the basin; expect settling over time. |
Across the cities we deliver to in Rhode Island, annual precipitation runs from about 49 to 52 inches. Fill dirt drains better than clay-heavy soils, so it handles that rain well for base layers. The state sees about 105 to 132 days a year below 32F, which slows winter work but does not stop it.
Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. Most of Rhode Island sits in the moderate band for ground freezing, meaning deeper frost penetration is unlikely. The common soil groups in our delivery area are hydrologic groups B and A, which have moderate to high infiltration rates. That means base depths for fill dirt can be shallower than on heavy clay soils.

Figure out the volume of the area you need to fill: length times width times depth in feet gives cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.35 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. Use our fill dirt calculator to get the exact tonnage for your dimensions.
You order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout, and the dump truck brings one to over 40 tons to your address. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders.

In addition to fill dirt, we deliver these materials across the state. Each is sold by the ton and delivered to your address.
Rhode Island experiences ground freezing for about 105 to 132 days a year. During thaw periods, weight limits may be enforced on some roads, which can affect delivery routes. Our team works with local haulers who know the current conditions and will confirm access before the delivery date.
Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to runs from about 49 to 52 inches. Fill dirt drains well, so it works for most base applications. The dominant soil groups in the state are hydrologic groups B and A, which allow faster infiltration. That means you can use shallower base depths compared to heavy clay areas.
Yes. New customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off their first order. The code applies to one order and cannot be combined with other promotions.
Topsoil is the common companion material. Fill dirt goes down first to raise grade or backfill, then topsoil goes on top as the growing layer for grass, plants or gardens. Many customers also order sand for mixing or crushed stone for drainage alongside fill dirt.
Fill dirt is a straightforward product: you order online, a dump truck arrives, and you mark the spot. We handle the delivery from a regional supplier straight to your address. For a delivered price and to place your order, visit the Rhode Island home page.
