Fill dirt is a compactable structural material made from a balanced blend of clay and sand, sometimes containing small stones or soil particles. Designed for strength and stability rather than planting, it compacts tightly to create a firm, load-bearing base for construction and site preparation projects. Its clay content helps it lock together when compacted, reducing settling and improving long-term structural performance.
Common applications for fill dirt
- Site leveling and grade correction
- Filling holes, low spots, and trenches
- Building pad and foundation preparation
- Backfilling around utilities and retaining walls
Not intended for drainage or planting applications, fill dirt is best used wherever a strong, compacted base is needed before finishing with topsoil, gravel, asphalt, or concrete.
