One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you're correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your depth, and that gets you close, but round up rather than down since a second delivery costs more in time than material.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

Fill dirt is a base, not a finish, so most jobs pair it with a topsoil cap once the grade is set and compacted, especially anywhere grass or plants need to establish. If the finished area will see foot traffic or drainage, some customers also order a load of gravel for a base layer under patios or walkways.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Cheyenne's clay loam does not forgive shortcuts on compaction. Place fill in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next, especially near foundations or pool walls. Skipping this step is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard has a sunken patch right where the fill went in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't plant or seed directly into fill dirt, it's subsoil, not growing medium, and it lacks the organic content and structure roots need. Cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before seeding grass or planting anything, and give the fill time to settle first if the timeline allows it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're leveling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and finish with topsoil only in the top few inches where roots actually live. This costs less than filling the whole depth with topsoil and gets you the same result, since the bottom layers never touch a root anyway.

Grading and Filling in Cheyenne

Cheyenne sits on clay loam that drains slow and holds water through the spring thaw, so a lot of fill jobs here are about correcting grade around foundations before that water finds its way to a basement wall. At 6,062 feet the freeze thaw cycle is aggressive, ground moves more than people expect, and uncompacted fill will show it within a season. Most of the fill work we see is prep before a build, a patio pour, or a pool install, not a finished surface. Whatever gets placed needs to be compacted in lifts or the yard will keep settling into next year.

What Clean Fill Is

Clean fill is screened subsoil free of debris, roots, and contaminants. It is made for volume and grade, and it compacts predictably, which is exactly what you want under slabs, in trenches, and behind walls.

Fill Dirt vs Topsoil

Fill dirt builds the shape of the ground, topsoil grows things on top of it. Bring the grade up with fill, then cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil anywhere grass or plants are going in.

Compact in Lifts

Place fill in layers of 4 to 6 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Dumping the full depth at once leaves voids that settle later, and settling is the one problem fill is supposed to solve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

Can I plant grass or a garden directly in fill dirt?

No, fill dirt is subsoil meant for structural buildup, not for growing anything. It lacks the organic matter and nutrients plants need and it's meant to be compacted, which works against root growth. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil once your grade is set and compacted, then plant into that.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure the square footage of the low area, decide how deep you need to fill based on how far it's settled, and use that to size your order. Most residential grading jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep.

Answer

Do I need to compact the fill dirt myself?

Yes, compaction is essential, especially in Cheyenne where freeze thaw cycles will expose any weak spots. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding more, otherwise the ground will keep settling for a year or more as it freezes and thaws through the winter.

Answer

Where will the truck place the fill dirt on delivery day?

The truck dumps the load in one accessible spot near your work area, since fill dirt is heavy and isn't spread by the delivery crew. Clear a path wide enough for the truck beforehand and have a wheelbarrow ready if the final spot is further from where the truck can reach.

Answer

What's the difference between fill dirt and topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is subsoil meant to build up structural depth, it's cheaper by volume but not meant to grow anything in. Topsoil has organic content and structure suited for planting. Use fill dirt for the bulk of any grade change and finish with a topsoil cap wherever something needs to grow.
