Number 1 Fill Dirt
C$14.50
Number 1 fill dirt is a screened, fine-textured landscaping soil used primarily for filling, grading, and base preparation. This is the higher-quality option of our two fill dirt grades, offering better consistency, fewer large debris pieces, and more reliable performance for landscaping and construction prep. Pulled directly from the ground and screened for uniformity, this material may contain some natural sand content, which helps improve drainage while still retaining moisture. It’s a cost-effective solution commonly used by landscapers for large-volume fill and underlayment applications.
