Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Baraboo address and unloads right where you point.
Fill dirt is structural material for raising grade, filling holes, and backfill. It contains no organic matter, so it compacts well and does not settle over time. Topsoil is the growing layer that goes on top of fill dirt.
Baraboo gets about 38 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matters when you are building up a pad or backfilling around a foundation. Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt by the ton to your address in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
Fill dirt is not topsoil. It will not support plant growth. Use it for structural work where compaction and stability matter.

| Fill Dirt | Raising grade, filling holes, backfill | Compacts well with low organic content. Ideal for structural fill around foundations. |
Here are five typical jobs that use fill dirt. Each calls for fill dirt at a certain depth or compaction method.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Building up a pad | Fill Dirt | Build in thin lifts, compact each layer |
| Backfill around a foundation | Fill Dirt | Compact in 6-inch layers to prevent settling |
| Burying a stump hole | Fill Dirt | Fill and tamp in stages |
| Filling a pool or pond | Fill Dirt | May require geotextile and drainage planning |
| Raising a low yard | Fill Dirt | Slope away from structures for drainage |
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Baraboo sees about 160 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That means the ground is frozen for months, and workable soil is limited to the warmer months.
Baraboo gets about 38 inches of precipitation annually, with about 74 days each year bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters because wet soil can rut under a dump truck.
Frost depth here is deep and long, which affects how much fill dirt settles after thaw. Soils mapped in the Baraboo area are commonly well drained, so standard base stone depths are usually adequate. The ground around Baraboo takes water in at a moderate rate, so you do not usually need extra drainage under the fill.
Use our fill dirt calculator to estimate the tons required for your project. Enter the area dimensions and desired depth, and it returns a tonnage figure. No guesswork needed.
