High-Quality Fill Dirt Delivery in Covington, LA
What is Fill Dirt and Why Do You Need It?
In the wet, low-lying landscape of Southern Louisiana, the foundation of your project is everything. Fill dirt is a subsoil material specifically chosen for its stability and "packability." Unlike topsoil, which contains organic matter that decomposes and shifts over time, fill dirt is primarily composed of clay and sand. This makes it the ideal choice for any project that requires a solid, non-shifting base.
At
Covington Dirt Delivery, we provide clean, reliable fill dirt that is free of large debris, stumps, or trash. Whether you are prepping a site for a new home or simply trying to eliminate a ponding area in your backyard, our fill dirt provides the structural integrity you need.
Common Uses for Fill Dirt on the Northshore
House & Shop Pads
Creating a stable, elevated area before pouring concrete. Our fill dirt compacts tightly to prevent future cracking in your slab.
Leveling Uneven Terrain
If your property has "dips" or "low spots" that collect water during our frequent rainstorms, fill dirt is the most cost-effective way to raise the grade.
Pool In-Fills
If you are removing an old swimming pool, fill dirt is used to fill the bulk of the hole before finishing the surface with topsoil and sod.
Retaining Walls
Providing a sturdy backfill for landscape walls and terraces.
Erosion Repair
Filling in washouts caused by heavy drainage or creek-bed shifts.
Safe and Professional Delivery to Your Job Site
Safely maneuvering fifteen tons of material to the exact spot you need it requires more than just a truck; it requires an experienced and highly skilled driver. At Covington Dirt Delivery, we pride ourselves on our precision and professional approach because we understand that your property is a significant investment that deserves respect. Every time one of our trucks arrives at a job site, our drivers perform a thorough evaluation to ensure a safe drop. This includes checking for soft ground conditions, as we refuse to risk sinking a 50,000-pound vehicle or destroying your lawn without your explicit permission. We also remain hyper-vigilant regarding overhead hazards, carefully navigating around low-hanging power lines and our local oak limbs that could be struck while the truck bed is raised. Most importantly, we prioritize septic safety by maintaining a strict distance from tank lids and drain fields to prevent any costly underground damage. Our goal is to provide the materials you need while leaving the rest of your property exactly as we found it.
How Much Fill Dirt Should I Order?
Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard. One important thing to remember with fill dirt is compaction. When you spread and pack fill dirt with a tractor or a plate compactor, the volume decreases as the air is pushed out.
Pro Tip: For structural projects like house pads, we recommend ordering 20% more than your raw measurements suggest to account for the compaction needed to create a solid base.
Estimating Your Load
- Small Projects (Flower bed bases, small holes): 1–5 Cubic Yards.
- Medium Projects (Small sheds, yard leveling): 5–15 Cubic Yards.
- Large Projects (House pads, long driveways): Multiple Tandem Loads (14+ yards each).
