Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Canyon address and unloads right where you point.
Canyon gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you are raising grade or backfilling with fill dirt. A well-planned base saves rework.
Fill dirt is a structural material, not a growing medium. It compacts firmly and supports the weight of concrete, paving, or a building pad without settling over time. You order by the ton, and a dump truck delivers to your address.
The single product ordered most often for structural fill is plain fill dirt. It is screened to remove debris and is free of organic matter, so it will not decompose and settle unevenly.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean, compactable fill with no organic content, suitable for structural support. |
Every job starts with the right depth and the right material. Use this table as a quick guide for typical fill dirt applications.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches of compacted fill after stripping topsoil. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Place in lifts and compact to prevent future dips. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Allow extra for settlement; wet and tamp each layer. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Slope away from the wall for drainage, minimum 6 inches on the high side. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | 6 to 12 inches of compacted fill, then a base layer for the surface. |
About 118 days a year drop below 32F in Canyon. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an inadequately compacted base, so proper compaction and drainage are critical before the ground freezes. Soil mapped in the Canyon area is commonly well drained, which reduces the risk of water pooling under your fill but means you may need less base stone under the surface layer.
The ground around Canyon is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This behavior means you need less drainage stone underneath the fill, but you still must slope the surface away from structures. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
Calculate the volume of the area you need to fill, then convert cubic yards to tons. Use Gravel Monkey's fill dirt calculator to enter your length, width, and depth and get an estimated tonnage. The calculator accounts for compaction and material density, giving you a reliable starting point for your order.

Fill dirt is not for planting. It is a structural material with no organic matter. For planting, order topsoil and place it on top of the compacted fill. A minimum of 4 to 6 inches of topsoil is typical for a lawn, and deeper for garden beds.
Gravel Monkey stocks one grade of fill dirt: clean, screened fill dirt that is free of organic matter. There are no size variations because fill dirt is not a sized aggregate. It is used for its compaction and structural properties, not for particle size.
