Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Spokane address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is the structural base for raising grade, filling holes and backfilling. Gravel Monkey delivers it by the ton to your Spokane address, with the price shown at checkout for your ZIP code.
Spokane gets about 17 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you spread fill. Ordering online lets you choose a delivery window that fits the weather.
Fill dirt is not for planting. It has no organic matter and it compacts well, so it holds stable under structures and driveways.

Spokane sees about 56 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground rather than wet soil, so the truck and your crew can work cleanly.
About 157 days a year drop below freezing. The ground freezes deep and long here, which limits the work window. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.
Snowfall averages about 30 inches a year. Plowing a loose fill surface can rut it, so lay the final grade after the last heavy snow. Ground freezing also affects how much the fill settles, so plan for compaction in the spring.
Figuring tonnage starts with the volume you need to fill. Use the fill dirt calculator to convert cubic feet into tons for your Spokane address. It accounts for the material's bulk density so you order the right amount.

Fill dirt works as a base layer. These materials go on top or beside it for finished surfaces.
Soil types vary across Spokane, from silty loam to gravel. Spokane's population is about 230,288, and ongoing development means you are likely filling an area that has been disturbed. Use the fill dirt calculator with your site's dimensions to get the right tonnage.
Yes. The freeze here is deep and long, so fill should be placed and compacted before the ground freezes. Spokane County permitted about 1,621 single-family homes in 2024, a figure that shows how much fill is needed in new construction. Order in late spring to fall for best results.
Fill dirt is not for planting. It has no nutrients and compacts too hard for roots. If you want to plant, spread at least 6 inches of topsoil over the fill dirt as a growing layer.
Gravel Monkey stocks a single fill dirt product that is screened to remove large debris. It comes in one nominal grade, consistent in texture, suitable for structural fill. There are no separate sizes; you order by the ton for your project volume.
