“Don’t Get Buried in Bad Dirt: The Ultimate Guide to Clean, Screened, Select, Common & Clay Fill – Pick the Perfect One Every Time”
Raleigh, North Carolina – January 13, 2026 – Cheap Fill Dirt (www.cheapfilldirt.com), a leading nationwide supplier of cost-effective bulk fill dirt and site materials, today emphasizes its commitment to providing the most competitive pricing on various types of fill dirt, including screened, unscreened, common fill, and select fill options. Whether for residential yard leveling, commercial grading, foundation backfilling, or large-scale construction projects, Cheap Fill Dirt offers reliable, high-quality materials delivered directly to your site at prices that beat the market average.
Fill dirt is essential subsoil material used for filling holes, raising elevations, leveling land, backfilling, and creating stable bases—without the nutrients needed for planting (unlike topsoil). At Cheap Fill Dirt, customers can choose from:
- Unscreened Fill Dirt (common fill) — The most budget-friendly option, sourced directly with natural particle variations, rocks, and minor debris. Ideal for bulk volume needs like deep fills, embankments, or areas topped with other materials later. Perfect when cost savings and large quantities matter more than perfect uniformity.
- Screened Fill Dirt — Processed through mechanical screens to remove larger rocks, clumps, roots, and debris for a finer, more consistent texture. This results in better compaction, easier spreading, reduced voids, and a smoother finish—great for precise grading, landscaping prep, or projects requiring stability without major additional work.
- Select Fill — Higher-grade, often engineered blends (e.g., controlled sand/clay mixes) tested for superior compaction and consistency. Best for structural applications like under foundations, roads, or load-bearing areas where long-term durability is critical.
These distinctions help customers select the right type: unscreened for economical bulk jobs, screened for workability and uniformity, and select for engineered precision. With local sourcing and efficient delivery, Cheap Fill Dirt keeps costs low—often well below regional averages of $15–$35 per cubic yard in areas like Raleigh—while ensuring quality and fast turnaround.
“Cheap doesn’t mean cutting corners—we deliver real value by making premium fill dirt accessible and affordable so every project stays on budget and on schedule,” said John Arwood, CEO of the parent company overseeing Cheap Fill Dirt operations.
Real customer experiences highlight the impact:
- “We needed a ton of unscreened fill to level our backyard after some drainage work. Cheap Fill Dirt quoted us way below the local suppliers, delivered on time with a full dump truck load, and the driver even helped spread it. Saved us hundreds—no rocks bigger than a fist, and it compacted great,” shared Mike Thompson, homeowner in Raleigh, NC.
- “For our commercial site prep, we went with their screened fill dirt. Super consistent material, no surprises with debris, and the price per yard was unbeatable compared to what we’ve paid before. Delivery was quick, and it made grading a breeze—highly recommend for anyone tired of overpriced dirt,” noted Sarah Jenkins, contractor for a Triangle-area development firm.
