Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Long Beach address and unloads right where you point.
Long Beach gets about 78 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning are part of any fill dirt project.
Contractors often order fill dirt in large volumes for grading and backfill. Homeowners typically need smaller amounts for raising a low yard or filling holes. Both can order by the ton online and have it delivered.
Fill dirt is a structural material with no organic matter. It is used for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. The material is sold by the ton and delivered in a dump truck to your address.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Clean fill with no organic content. Ideal for building stable bases under concrete or asphalt. |
Fill dirt solves several common problems around a property. These projects typically require fill dirt in depths from a few inches to several feet.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in lifts of 6 to 8 inches |
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Depth depends on final grade; use calculator |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill to original grade plus allowance for settling |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Typical depth 4 to 12 inches; check drainage |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | Requires heavy compaction in layers |
Long Beach sees about 76 days each year when the temperature drops below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can cause an unstable base if fill dirt is not compacted properly. Planning the work around the season helps avoid settlement later.
Soils in the area are commonly mapped as excessively drained. That may mean more or less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, less drainage stone is typically needed under the fill.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. About 137 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important.
Estimating the right amount of fill dirt starts with measuring the length and width of the area and the desired depth. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a tonnage estimate for your project. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives you a number you can order directly.

The fill dirt quantity depends on the area dimensions and desired depth, not on local conditions. However, because soils in the Long Beach area are in hydrologic group A and soak water quickly, you may need less base stone beneath the fill, which can change the total material order.
