Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Rockport address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the go-to material for changing grade, backfilling, and filling voids. Because it is sold by the ton, the quantity you order affects how you plan site access and compaction.
Rockport gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you place fill. Ordering enough to reach a slight crown helps shed water away from structures.
Fill dirt is the single most ordered product for grading and backfill work. It has no organic matter, so it settles predictably and stays stable.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compacts well and supports a topsoil layer above it. |
The table below matches typical projects with the product and a placement note. Fill dirt is the consistent choice for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Add enough to slope away from the house, typically 2 to 6 inches. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6-inch lifts to reach the finished grade. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to above grade, then let settle and top off later. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in layers and compact; depth depends on the void. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Place against the wall in lifts and tamp to avoid settling. |
Rockport has about 4 days a year below freezing. That small freeze cycle means the ground hardly heaves, so an unstable fill base is less likely to shift. About 44 wet days annually bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain; scheduling your fill delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting.
Soils mapped in the Rockport area are commonly moderately well drained, which means the fill base may need less underlayment than in poorly drained areas. The ground around Rockport is in a hydrologic group that soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern here.
Because fill dirt is sold by the ton, you need to convert your project volume into weight. The easiest way is to enter your area and planned depth into our fill dirt calculator, which gives you the tons required and the delivered price for your Rockport address.
Ordering is straightforward. Pick fill dirt on the product page, enter your zip code at checkout to see the delivered price, and choose your delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. Loads range from 1 ton to 40+ tons, and qualifying orders get free delivery.
You provide a valid phone number and approve an email showing the material being loaded before the truck is dispatched. Someone must be at the site during the window to receive the load. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.

Many buyers combine fill dirt with one or more of these materials for the same job.
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt to Rockport and the surrounding area, including Aransas County and nearby cities like Fulton and Aransas Pass. Rockport gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is important when placing fill. The truck delivers to your address within a chosen morning or afternoon window.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth you need to fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate your requirements. Rockport experiences about 4 freezing days a year, so depth for grade stability is less of a concern than in colder climates. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste.
Fill dirt is not meant for planting directly. It is a structural material that goes underneath topsoil. For a planting area, place at least 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over the compacted fill dirt. The fill itself provides a stable base and drainage support.
Fill dirt is not graded by size like crushed stone. We stock one consistent product: clean fill dirt with no organic matter. The texture can vary slightly by regional source, but it is always a dense, compactable material suitable for grading and backfill.
