What to know
Fill dirt is used to add volume and shape a site. The balance of sand, silt, clay and other particles can vary, affecting drainage and how the material responds to compaction.
The right selection depends on what will sit above the fill. A landscape grading job and a building pad can have very different requirements.
Common project considerations
- Raising low areas where drainage has been considered.
- Building up a site before a suitable surface layer is added.
- Earthwork that requires a particular soil type, moisture level and compaction method.
Before you order
- What will be built or planted over the fill?
- Are there required soil tests or compaction specifications?
- What access and unloading space are available at the delivery location?
