Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Moncks Corner address and unloads right where you point.
Delivery works like this: you order fill dirt by the ton, pick a delivery date, and a dump truck brings the load to the spot you mark on your property. The driver drops it in one pile, and you spread it yourself. That means you control exactly where the material goes.
Moncks Corner receives about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout before you place the fill dirt helps avoid problems later.
Fill dirt is the structural base for any job that needs to raise grade, fill a void, or provide a stable foundation. It contains no organic matter, so it will not decompose or settle over time. Here is the product available:
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean, compactable soil without debris. Use it where you do not need plant growth. |
For most projects, fill dirt is the budget-friendly option that gives a long-lasting result. It is the first layer you place. The table below shows typical applications and the depth to plan for.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Compacted in lifts, typically 6 to 12 inches per lift |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 4 to 6 inches of fill, then topsoil on top |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, tamp as you go |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | 12 to 24 inches against the wall, compacted |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches, compacted, for a stable base |
About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground rather than wet soil prevents the truck from rutting the surface. Freezing temperatures occur roughly 45 days a year, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves during winter.
Snowfall is essentially zero in Moncks Corner, so plowing damage to a loose fill surface is not a concern. Ground freezing is not a significant factor here, meaning the ground is workable for most of the year and the fill dirt will settle more predictably.
Soils mapped in the Moncks Corner area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the fill dirt layer, depending on the specific site. Ground around Moncks Corner is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so 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.
To figure out how many tons you need, measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet, then multiply those numbers together. A typical cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a quick estimate based on your project dimensions.
Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker. That means we source fill dirt from a network of regional suppliers, so the exact product can vary by region.

The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a window at checkout: morning from 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery, and you will receive an email confirmation when the order is placed. Near the scheduled date, you get a second email with the window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only proceeds once you approve that email.
You need to be present or have someone you nominate at the site during the delivery window. The site requires a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Fill dirt is the structural base. The materials below go on top of it or work alongside it on the same property.
Delivery cost depends on your ZIP code and the quantity ordered. There are no set prices per ton because haul distance varies. In Moncks Corner, the ground freezes very little, so winter conditions do not add extra fees or delays.
The tonnage is calculated from the volume of the area you want to fill. For example, a 10-foot by 10-foot area 6 inches deep needs about 2.5 tons. Berkeley County permitted about 2,573 single-family homes in 2024, so many local projects have used fill dirt for foundations and grading. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a specific estimate.
Orders must be placed at least 3 business days before the delivery date. That gives time for sourcing and scheduling. Ordering earlier is better if your project date is fixed.
No. Someone must be available at the site during the delivery window to accept the load. If no one is present, the delivery may not be completed and a redelivery fee can apply.
