Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your South Carolina address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is a structural material used to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill around foundations. It contains no organic matter, so it will not decompose or settle like topsoil. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt by the ton anywhere in South Carolina.
You order online, choose a delivery window, and we send a dump truck to your address. The price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons.
Fill dirt is not for planting. Use it for structural fill where you need stable, compacted material that resists settling. It works for grading, backfill, and base layers.

Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to in South Carolina runs from 46 to 55 inches. Freezing occurs 22 to 65 days a year, depending on location. Most of the state is in the negligible band for ground freezing. That means the timing of fill work is driven more by moisture than by frost.
The dominant hydrologic soil groups are B and B/D. These groups indicate moderate to slow infiltration, which affects how fill base depth is designed. In areas with B/D soils, you may need additional base material to prevent water accumulation under the fill.
With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. So you can install fill dirt year-round as long as the ground is not saturated.

The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the area and depth of the fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate your tonnage based on your project dimensions. The calculator accounts for compaction and material density.

South Carolina experiences only 22 to 65 freezing days per year, and most of the state is in the negligible band for ground freezing. As a result, seasonal road restrictions have little to no impact on delivery timing. You can schedule deliveries year-round without concern for weight limits.
The dominant hydrologic soil groups in South Carolina are B and B/D, which means the soil drains well but may require deeper base material for heavy loads. Annual rainfall ranges from 46 to 55 inches, so ordering fill during a dry stretch can make compaction easier. Wet soil can make it harder to compact fill, so plan accordingly.
Topsoil is commonly ordered with fill dirt to create a growing layer for lawns or gardens. Crushed concrete or crushed gravel may also be ordered if you need a stable base for paving. Your project needs will determine the combination.
