Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Dayton address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is not topsoil. Topsoil has organic matter and is meant for growing plants. Fill dirt is structural material used for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. Dayton gets about 19 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you place fill dirt.
If you need a stable base that compacts well, fill dirt is the right choice. It contains no organic matter that will decompose and settle over time. That makes it ideal for projects that need a long-lasting, stable fill.
We deliver one product in this category: screened fill dirt that is free of large debris. It works for any job that calls for compactable material to change the grade or fill a void.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Screened and clean, no organic matter. Compacts well for stable support. |
These are the five most frequent projects we see in the area. Each one uses fill dirt as the main material to change the ground level or fill an empty space.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Fill in lifts and compact each layer |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Fill to desired grade, slope away from structures |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6- to 8-inch lifts |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Backfill in thin layers with compaction |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to grade, compact to prevent settling |
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Dayton sees about 113 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That means you have a shorter season for working with fill dirt unless you plan around the cold.
Ground freezing here is deep and long. That affects when the ground is workable and how much it settles after a thaw. Soils mapped in the Dayton area are commonly well drained, which means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your specific site. The ground around Dayton takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
Figuring out the right amount comes down to the volume you need to fill and how much the material will compact. Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate tons based on your project dimensions.
