Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Buna address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising grade, filling holes and backfill around foundations. It contains no organic matter, so it compacts well and does not settle unpredictably over time. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt by the ton straight to your site in Buna.
Buna gets about 63 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you place fill. Ordering enough material to account for settling and compaction is part of the job.
Fill dirt is stocked as a single product: clean, compactable material without debris. The table below shows what it is for and what to expect.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | No organic content, compacts well. Order by the ton for your project. |
Each job needs a different depth and compaction strategy. The table below maps five typical projects to the right product and a starting depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 4 to 6 inches minimum after compaction |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compacted in lifts of 6 to 8 inches |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Depth depends on planned elevation, compact in layers |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, compact thoroughly |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Check local codes, compact in thin lifts |
With about 76 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important. A soaked site can lead to compaction delays and stuck trucks. The Buna area sees roughly 24 days a year below freezing, which narrows the work window when the ground is coldest.
Soils mapped in this area are commonly moderately well drained, which means a deeper base of fill may be needed to support the surface layer. The ground around Buna is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season.
Jasper County permitted about 31 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that shows ongoing building activity. New construction often means grading and fill work.
The volume of fill dirt you need depends on the area you are covering and the target depth after compaction. Use the fill dirt calculator to estimate the number of tons based on your measurements. It accounts for compaction and material density.

Yes. Buna gets about 63 inches of precipitation a year, which means fill can settle more from rain, so you may need extra material to reach your target grade after compaction. Accounting for drainage during placement also matters.
Winter has about 24 days below freezing, but ground freezing is not a significant factor here. The main concern is moisture: wet ground can delay delivery or make it harder to compact fill. Scheduling around dry spells is advised.
