How this works

  1. Pick the material. Not sure? Each one says what it is for. Fill goes under things. Topsoil grows things. Stone drains and packs.
  2. Say how much. Type the yards or tons if you know them, or measure the spot and let the calculator do it.
  3. Say where and when. Your city or zip, and whether a dump truck can get to the spot.
  4. Get a price. A delivered price for your address comes back by phone or email, usually the same business day.

Know before you order

  • A tandem dump truck carries about 12 yards of dirt or 16 to 18 tons of stone. Most orders are one or two loads.
  • Fill dirt is for structure and settles about 15 percent. Order a little more than the hole measures.
  • One yard of topsoil covers 81 square feet at four inches deep. A small lawn is two loads.
  • The truck needs about 12 feet of clear width and firm ground. If it cannot reach the spot, the load goes at the closest point.

Work out how many yards you need
