Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Virginia Beach address and unloads right where you point.
When you order fill dirt from Gravel Monkey, a dump truck brings the load to your address and dumps it in a single pile where you mark the spot. You choose the delivery window and approve the load before the truck rolls. Virginia Beach gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any fill project.
Order online by the ton, and the price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. You pick the delivery date at least 3 business days out, and we confirm everything by email.
Fill dirt is the structural base layer for raising grade, backfilling foundations, and filling holes. It contains no organic matter, so it does not decompose and settle over time.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compactable, no organic content, stays in place. |
Fill dirt is the budget-friendly choice for changing the shape of your ground. It compacts well and does not rot, so it lasts longer than organic fill.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Raises grade without future settling from decomposition. |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Provides a stable, drainable base against the wall. |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compacts to a firm surface for sheds or equipment. |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fills voids with material that will not rot and sink. |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Dense fill that stays put and resists washout. |
Soils mapped in the Virginia Beach area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from pooling against the fill. The area receives about 3 inches of snow a year, and plowing can damage a loose fill surface if it is not compacted first.
About 50 days a year drop below 32F, which affects when the ground freezes and how much it moves. That matters for timing your fill work. About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Ground around Virginia Beach sits 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 drained, most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
The volume of fill dirt you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth of fill. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your project dimensions.
