Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Wimberley address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is not the same as topsoil. Fill dirt is meant for structure, not for growing things. It has no organic matter and is used to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill.
Wimberley gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any fill project. Good fill dirt gives you a stable base that sheds water properly.
Fill dirt is not for planting. Use it under patios, foundations, or driveways where you need a compacted layer. It is also the right material for raising a low yard or filling a depression.
| Product | Use for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Unscreened natural material with some stones and clay. Compacts well. |
Here are five typical projects and what to order for each. Always use the calculator to confirm the amount you need.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Build up in thin lifts, 4 to 6 inches compacted each. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in layers to prevent settling. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Use clean engineered fill if possible. |
| Building up a pad for a shed | Fill Dirt | Minimum 6 inches compacted base. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill and allow natural settling; top off later. |
Wimberley sits in Hays County, an area with plenty of new home construction. The county permitted about 3,918 single-family homes in 2024, many of them on lots that need grading. Fill dirt is in demand for those new pads and driveways.
About 48 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need to schedule delivery onto firm ground, not mud. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. About 20 days a year drop below 32F, but the ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so you can work most of the year as long as the soil is dry.
The ground around Wimberley is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other areas. Your fill dirt layer will need to handle runoff during heavy storms.
Every project is different, so guessing the tonnage is easy to get wrong. Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate the amount by entering the area dimensions and desired depth. The result is a rough tonnage that you can adjust at checkout.
Ordering is simple. Choose your product by the ton, enter your ZIP for pricing, and pick a delivery date at least 3 business days out. You select a window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery.
You get an email confirmation when you place the order, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Fill dirt rarely works alone. Pair it with these materials for a complete project.
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. Wimberley gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, so even small grading projects often need fill dirt to direct water away from structures. The calculator can help you confirm the right amount.
Yes. The ground around Wimberley is in hydrologic group D, meaning water soaks in very slowly and runs across the surface. That often means you need a deeper base of fill dirt for drainage and to prevent settling. A good rule is to compact in thin lifts and check the calculator for depth.
Fill dirt is not for planting. It is structural material for raising grade and backfill. For a growing layer, use topsoil on top of fill dirt. Typical topsoil depth for lawns is 4 to 6 inches, and 8 to 12 inches for vegetable beds.
Fill dirt is not sold by size like gravel or stone. It is an unscreened natural material that contains stones, sand, and clay. The particle size varies depending on the source quarry. It is chosen for its compaction and bulk, not for appearance or uniform size.
