Fill Dirt ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Afton address and unloads right where you point.
Lincoln County permitted about 194 single-family homes in 2024, so many properties around Afton need fill dirt for grading and backfill. Whether you are leveling a building site or filling a depression, fill dirt gives you a stable base.
Fill dirt is a structural material with no organic matter. It is used to raise grade, fill holes, and provide a solid foundation for topsoil or other surfaces. The right texture and compaction keep the ground from settling.
Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey comes in various consistencies and is sold by the ton. You choose the texture that suits your project. The table below shows the product we deliver.

Soils mapped in the Afton area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the fill from settling unevenly over time. The ground around Afton is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most fill projects.
The frost here is deep and long. When the ground thaws in spring, the fill will settle a bit as the soil consolidates. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. Plan your fill delivery for the window before or after the freeze.
To figure out how many tons of fill dirt your project requires, use the fill dirt calculator. Enter the length, width, and depth of the area you want to fill, and it will give you an estimate in tons. This helps you order the right amount without over-ordering.
