Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Vermont address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the clean mineral fill used to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill around structures. It contains no organic matter, so it settles predictably and will not rot or sink over time. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt throughout Vermont by the ton, ordered online and delivered by dump truck to your address.
You pick the material, choose a delivery date at checkout, and get a price for your ZIP before you commit. No need to visit a yard. The truck comes to you.
Fill dirt is not for planting. It is structural fill for raising grade, backfilling, and filling large voids. The products we deliver are clean mineral fill with no organic content.

Across the cities we deliver to in Vermont, annual precipitation runs from about 38 to 49 inches. That much rain means fill dirt must be placed with proper drainage so it does not hold water against a foundation or slab.
Vermont also sees about 154 to 177 days a year below 32F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. If fill is placed too late, it may not compact fully before the ground freezes.
Hydrologic soil groups A and D are the most common across our Vermont delivery area. Group D soils drain slowly, so base depth guidance for fill over these soils recommends thicker layers to keep water away from structures.
VTrans runs a spring load-restriction program to protect roads during thaw. This can affect heavy truck access on some routes. Gravel Monkey plans deliveries around these restrictions.

Fill dirt is sold by the ton. To estimate the tons you need, measure the area and the depth of fill required. Use our fill dirt calculator to convert cubic feet or cubic yards into tonnage. The calculator accounts for compaction and material density.

Vermont's severe frost band means fill dirt must be placed and compacted before the ground freezes. The state gets 38 to 49 inches of rain a year, so good drainage around fill is important to avoid water buildup.
VTrans runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit heavy truck access on certain roads during thaw. Gravel Monkey plans deliveries around these restrictions, and you can discuss access concerns with the team.
Fill dirt is sold as one consistent material, not graded by size. It is a mix of sand, silt, and clay with no organic matter. The particle size is fine, typically less than 3 inches.
Topsoil is the growing layer that goes on top of fill dirt for planting areas. Crushed gravel is often used for access roads or paths over fill. Both materials are available in Vermont.
