Buy Fill Dirt in South Dakota

If you are raising a low yard, filling a depression, or building up a pad for a shed, fill dirt is the base. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt across South Dakota by the ton. There is no yard to visit. The truck comes to your address.

Fill dirt is a structural material. It compacts well and stays put. For finished surfaces you want topsoil on top, but for volume and stability fill dirt is the right choice.

Choosing Fill Dirt for Common South Dakota Projects

Each job needs a certain depth and volume. The table below shows typical applications and the depth to order.

Conditions Across South Dakota That Affect Fill Dirt Orders

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in South Dakota runs from about 20 to 29 inches. Eastern areas get more rain; western areas are drier. That means drainage needs vary. In wetter spots, a thicker base of fill dirt keeps the grade above the water table.

Freezing days range from about 157 to 181 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of South Dakota sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. You need to plan your fill dirt job for the warmer months when the ground is workable.

The dominant soil hydrologic groups across the served cities are groups C and B. Group C soils drain slowly, while group B drains moderately. That influences the base depth you need. For group C soils, a thicker layer of fill dirt helps keep the surface dry. Check your local soil if you can.
