Fill dirt delivery in Odenville, AL
Revised October 2026
Raise a low spot, build a pad, fill a hole or bring a lot to grade. Delivered to Branchville, Margaret, US 411 corridor and the rest of Odenville.
Most fill orders in Odenville are about water and grade: a low spot that stays soft, a pad that needs building up, a slope that needs holding. Red clay fill is what gets delivered most around here, because it packs hard and sheds water. If the job is a pad or backfill, ask for clay. If you will be spreading it by hand around Branchville, screened fill is easier to work.
Fill dirt jobs in Odenville
Odenville sits in a broad valley along US 411 at about 850 feet, with northeast-trending ridges on both sides. The valley is shale and limestone under red clay with chert, and Beaver Creek and smaller branches keep low lots wet and flood-prone. Most building is new subdivisions on former pasture and timberland and scattered acreage lots, so settling, poor backyard drainage and rutted new lawns are the common fill jobs.
What it is for
- Raising a low spot that holds water
- Building up a pad for a shed, pool or driveway
- Backfilling a trench, a stump hole or an old pool
- Filling behind a retaining wall or a new foundation
Fill dirt is not for growing anything. Grass and plants need topsoil on top of it, usually four to six inches.
Getting the truck in
Mostly rural roads and long gravel driveways; subdivisions around Margaret and Branchville have standard streets but limited staging space.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between fill dirt and topsoil?
Fill dirt is subsoil: clay, sand and rock with almost no organic matter. It is for structure, raising grade and filling holes. Topsoil is the dark upper layer with organic matter that grass and plants grow in. If you are building something, you want fill. If you are growing something, you want topsoil on top of it.
How many yards of fill dirt are in a dump truck?
A single-axle dump truck carries about 8 cubic yards. A tandem, the most common delivery truck around Birmingham, carries 10 to 14 yards. A tri-axle carries 14 to 18 yards. Dirt is heavy, so a truck often carries fewer yards of wet clay than of dry fill.
