Fill Dirt Types

Fill dirt is typically unsuited for plant growth and is only suited for making significant changes in grade. Fill dirt is largely subsoil and is quite dense which helps to reduce settling.

Fill Dirt

Fill Dirt is subsoil and rocks from deep excavations. Fill dirt compacts very well and does not settle significantly. The large rocks and clumps that it contains make it unsuitable for smaller areas requiring filling and is therefore only suitable for significant changes in grade such as filling in basements or swimming pools.

Topsoil Screenings

Topsoil screenings (a.k.a. “overs”) are the byproduct of removing rocks and roots from our Topsoil in order to make Screened Topsoil. Most of the rocks are smaller than 8" and mostly uniform in size. While it is very rocky and does not easily settle, the rocks can lead to filled areas with void spaces that can entrap water, potentially compromising the structural properties of the filled area. This product is ideal for filling in areas which will not require compacted soil. This is not for use under driveways or under structures.
