Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Sevierville address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt delivered to your Sevierville address arrives by dump truck. You mark the spot for the single drop, and the driver sets it there. Sevierville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your fill.
Ordering online by the ton means you control the amount. Delivery is priced by your ZIP at checkout. The truck handles 1 to 40-plus ton loads. You choose a delivery window at checkout, morning or afternoon, and the load photo is sent for your approval before it leaves.
Fill dirt is the structural layer for raising grade and backfill. It contains no organic matter, so it compacts well and supports weight. Topsoil is the growing layer that goes on top of it. Soils mapped in the Sevierville area are commonly well drained, so you can often use fill dirt without extra base stone. You order fill dirt by the ton. Use it to raise a low yard, fill a hole, or backfill around a foundation.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Structural fill with no organic matter, for building up grade and backfilling. |
Use the table below to match your project to the right order. Fill dirt is the cost-effective base; topsoil goes over it where you need a growing surface. For each job, figure the cubic yards and convert to tons using the fill dirt calculator.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Depth varies; use as base, then cap with topsoil if planting. |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches typical; topsoil on top for grass. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact in thin lifts for stability. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in layers to prevent settling. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill hole completely and mounding slightly. |
Sevierville has about 110 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the ground stays wet through much of spring and early summer, so scheduling your delivery for a dry stretch is important. About 104 days drop below freezing, enough to freeze the ground and cause movement in an unstable base. Frost penetration is significant in a winter of 100 plus freezing days, so fill used near structures should be well compacted to avoid heave.
The area gets about 8 inches of snow annually. Snow plowing can damage a loose fill surface, so plan the work for after the snow season if possible. The soil water behavior here is hydrologic group B, meaning the ground takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough. The moderate infiltration rate also means water moves through the soil at a moderate pace, reducing the risk of erosion on your fill dirt.
Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. Aim for a dry window with no frost in the forecast to get the best compaction. Working in the dry season also helps you avoid delays from weather.
The amount of fill dirt you need depends on the volume of the area you are filling. Use the fill dirt calculator to enter your dimensions and get the exact tonnage. For a typical pool fill or yard raise, depth is the key variable. Measure the area and use the calculator to avoid over or under ordering.

Fill dirt works with other materials to complete your project.
Delivery cost is determined by your ZIP code and the amount of fill dirt ordered. You see the price at checkout before you confirm. Frost in this area means the ground freezes moderately, which can affect when you can work, but not the delivery cost.
The tonnage depends on the cubic yards of fill needed. Use the fill dirt calculator to convert your dimensions into tons. Sevierville gets about 8 inches of snow a year, so account for snow removal if you place fill before winter.
No. Someone must be present during the delivery window to accept the load. If no one is there, a missed delivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.
