Fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so even a modest order adds up in weight fast, plan your access and equipment around that. One cubic yard covers roughly 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most 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 target depth, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing.

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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Most fill jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, since fill dirt itself isn't meant to grow anything. If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, a layer of compactable base material underneath the fill can help with long term stability. Mulch or sod usually comes last, once the topsoil cap is in place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't dump fill dirt in one deep pour and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially in Dallas where our blackland clay subgrade already shifts with moisture. Skipping compaction means the ground keeps settling for months or years, which shows up later as a low spot next to a foundation or a sunken patch in the yard right where you least want it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people trying to plant or sod directly into fill dirt. It's a structural material, not a growing medium, so nothing establishes well in it long term. Always cap finished fill with several inches of real topsoil before seeding, sodding, or planting anything, even if the fill looks like decent soil once it's spread out and dry.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're leveling a large low area, it's worth pairing a fill dirt order with topsoil delivered separately rather than trying to source one material that does both jobs. Fill dirt is heavier and cheaper to move in bulk for the structural volume, while a thinner topsoil layer on top handles the growing side. Ordering both by the cubic yard in one delivery window is usually more efficient than repeat trips.

Grading and Filling in Dallas

Dallas sits on blackland clay, which swells when wet and shrinks hard when dry, so low areas near foundations tend to pond and stay soft longer than you'd expect. Fill dirt is what people here use to raise that grade before it becomes a drainage or foundation problem. It also shows up constantly around pool installs and new slab work, where the excavated soil has to be replaced with something that compacts predictably. Because it's project driven rather than seasonal, we see steady orders for it whether it's August heat or a mild January.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I plant grass directly in fill dirt after it's spread?

Not reliably. Fill dirt is subsoil, screened of debris but not a growing medium, so grass and plants struggle to establish in it. Cap the compacted fill with several inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding. This is standard practice on grading and backfill jobs around Dallas and it makes a real difference in how well anything takes root.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure the square footage of the area, decide how deep you need to raise it, usually 6 to 12 inches, then calculate yardage from there. Order a bit extra since fill dirt compacts down once placed, so your finished depth ends up shallower than the loose delivered volume.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself or does it settle on its own?

You need to compact it. Left alone, fill dirt settles unevenly over months or years, which is a real problem next to foundations or pools in Dallas's clay soil. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next lift, rather than dumping the full depth at once.

Answer

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

The load gets dropped wherever you direct the driver, as close to your work area as truck access allows. Clear a wide enough path beforehand and mark the spot, since a full load of fill dirt is heavy, around 1.3 tons per cubic yard, and can't easily be relocated by hand once it's dumped in bulk.

Answer

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

Fill dirt is subsoil meant for raising grade, backfilling, and building up structural volume, it's not meant to grow anything. Topsoil is the finished layer you cap fill with when something needs to grow, like grass or plants. If you're just correcting a low area or backfilling around a foundation or pool, fill dirt is the right call, with topsoil added on top only where needed.
