Local Conditions That Affect Your Fill Dirt Job
Myrtle Beach gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matters for any fill dirt project. With about 76 days a year bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain, you will want to schedule delivery when the ground is firm to avoid the truck getting stuck.
About 38 days a year drop below 32F, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. Soils mapped in the Myrtle Beach area are commonly very poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
How Much Fill Dirt You Need
To estimate the tonnage for your project, use our fill dirt calculator. Enter the area dimensions and the planned depth, and it will give you a close quantity in tons.
For a typical residential project, the total can range from a few tons to over 20 tons. The calculator makes it easy to order the right amount without guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many tons of fill dirt do I need for my project?
The amount depends on the project size and depth. Because soils in the Myrtle Beach area are commonly very poorly drained, you may need a deeper base layer than elsewhere. Use our fill dirt calculator for a tonnage estimate.
Do you deliver fill dirt to Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver fill dirt to Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area, including Surfside Beach, Conway, and North Myrtle Beach. Horry County permitted about 7,269 single-family homes in 2024, and we serve those construction sites too.
Which size is the most common choice for this material?
Fill dirt is not typically categorized by size like gravel. It is a natural soil mixture of clay, sand, and silt. The most common choice for structural fill is standard unscreened fill dirt, which compacts well.
How deep should the layer be for planting?
Fill dirt is not suitable for planting because it contains no organic matter. For planting, you would place topsoil over the fill dirt. The topsoil layer is typically 4 to 6 inches deep for most lawns and gardens.
