My experience with the fill dirt I received was very good. I requested dirt with minimal rocks and roots and I received very good quality dirt with zero roots and very small rocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use our built-in calculator on this page — enter the length, width, and depth of your project area, and we'll calculate the exact amount. As a general rule, 1 ton of material covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

We deliver directly to your driveway or project site using a dump truck. Just choose your delivery date and time window (AM or PM) during checkout. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before noon.

Yes! Delivery is included in the price you see — no hidden fees, no surprises. The price per ton (or yard) you see is the price you pay, delivered.

The minimum order is typically 1 ton (or 1 cubic yard for mulch and soil products). Our pricing gets better with larger quantities — a full truckload (18 tons) gives you the best per-unit price.

Due to the nature of bulk materials, we cannot accept returns once delivered. We recommend using our calculator to get the right amount — it's better to order slightly more than to run short mid-project.

Topsoil is screened natural soil — great for grading, leveling, and lawn establishment. Garden soil is a premium blend with added compost and nutrients — ideal for raised beds and planting areas where you want maximum plant growth.

Our garden soil and compost soil are ready to plant in as-is. Topsoil benefits from mixing in compost for garden beds. Fill dirt is not intended for planting — it's for grading and structural fill only.
