Dirt / Fill Dirt  Fill dirt is used for leveling ground, filling large low spots, and building up construction pads where topsoil is not needed. It contains minimal organic material, making it stable and ideal for foundations, backfill, and structural grading. Unlike topsoil, fill dirt is not meant for planting. Our team can help determine the right amount based on your project and provide tips to keep material costs efficient.

Chert  Chert aggregate is a natural rock and dirt mix that comes out of the earth as a raw material. It can be used for building pads for mobile homes or shops. It is also great for building the initial base of a driveway or roadway.

Top Soil  Topsoil is nutrient-rich soil found at the earth’s surface and is essential for healthy plant and turf growth. Whether you’re installing a new lawn, filling in low areas, creating landscape beds, or improving soil quality, topsoil provides the organic content needed for strong root development. We offer high-quality screened topsoil suitable for both residential and commercial landscaping applications.

Sand  Our fill sand is a screened, unwashed sand blend ideal for construction and general-purpose use. It works well for trench fill, foundation bedding, concrete base prep, leveling areas, and as backfill around structures. Because sand compacts tightly under weight, it is a dependable material for structural support or areas requiring a smooth, stable surface. Color may vary depending on the source location.

Mulch  Mulch helps retain soil moisture, reduce weed growth, and improve the overall appearance of landscape beds. We supply pine bark mulch, red mulch, natural mulch, and pine mini nuggets — all commonly used across North Alabama and southern Tennessee. Mulch also enriches soil quality over time by breaking down and adding organic material.

Sod  Sod is mature grass grown on a layer of soil that holds the roots together for quick installation. We offer Bermuda and Zoysia sod suitable for North Alabama’s climate.

Once installed over leveled soil, roots establish themselves over several weeks.
