Overview

Fill dirt, made from natural earthen materials, compacts effectively and serves a multitude of functions in both residential and commercial property enhancements.

Typical Composition

Fill dirt typically consists of small rocks, sand, silt, and clay. While its composition may fluctuate by region, we ensure that our fill dirt is screened to eliminate large debris such as roots and construction detritus.
