Tips for Buying Fill Dirt
1. You always need more dirt than you think.
The dirt that you use is going to spread out, drastically reducing how much it looks like when you see it in the back of a truck. Always be prepared to order what feels like far too much, as that is probably the right amount.
2. Measure twice before putting in your order.
Just like with other construction jobs, you want to measure twice so that you only have to order once. Be sure of the size of the area, in cubic feet or yards, before you call.
3. Have your equipment on site.
When the dirt arrives, you want to have your equipment on site that same day. This way, you can begin spreading it as soon as possible, making the whole job smoother and easier than it would be otherwise.
