Milwaukee Fill Dirt FAQs

In our experience, Milwaukee features glacial till and sandy loam soils, often overlaid with rich topsoil in gardens and yards. These native soils are dense yet workable, but if you’re importing fill dirt, blending in compost or sand can help with drainage and structure.

We usually see fill dirt delivered for around $22–$28 per cubic yard, while screened or premium topsoil, ideal for lawns and beds, ranges from $42–$55 per cubic yard. Prices depend on quantity, delivery distance, and truck access.

Many local landscape suppliers and garden centers in Milwaukee offer bulk fill dirt, screened topsoil, recycled compost blends, and specialty garden mixes. Orders are typically delivered in 10–15 cubic yard dump trucks; delivery fees depend on site access and load size.

Yes, major earthwork—like land grading, excavation, or large fill placements—usually requires a permit from the City of Milwaukee’s Department of Neighborhood Services. Smaller-scale landscaping with a few cubic yards of topsoil is typically permit-free, but checking local rules is advised.

We often test local soils through extension services or private labs to assess pH, nutrient levels, and structure. Soil amendments like compost, mushroom compost, peat, and sand are widely available locally to improve texture, fertility, and drainage.

Clean fill dirt is commonly reused for backfilling or landscaping, but soil from construction or unknown sources should be tested. Contaminated or debris-laden dirt must go to licensed landfills or yard waste facilities—dumping on-site is not allowed.

In our experience, dirt work in Milwaukee is best done from April through October, when the ground is thawed and stable. Winter and early spring are too wet or frozen, making hauling and grading difficult and inefficient.

One cubic yard covers about 100 ft² at a 3″ depth. Bulk dirt is delivered via standard dump trucks (10–15 yd capacity), and delivery costs hinge on load size and location. It’s wise to order about 5–10% extra to account for compaction or uneven terrain.
