Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most fill jobs in Denton run 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area is and what's going on top. Measure the low spot's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. If you're capping with topsoil afterward, plan for that as a separate layer on top of the fill volume.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill jobs end with a layer of topsoil on top since fill dirt is a structural material, not something to plant into directly. If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, a base layer of crushed stone underneath can help with drainage before the fill goes in. Mulch or additional topsoil ordered together with your fill saves a second delivery trip once grading is done.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Denton's clay loam doesn't forgive shortcuts on compaction. Place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next, rather than dumping the whole load and compacting once at the end. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people end up with a sunken spot two years later, especially near foundations or pool decks where uneven settling can actually cause real damage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. It's subsoil, screened of debris but stripped of the organic matter that plants need. Always cap your finished, compacted fill with several inches of actual topsoil before seeding or landscaping. Skipping the cap layer means grass struggles or won't establish at all, no matter how well the fill itself was placed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project involves both raising grade and finishing with lawn or beds, order fill dirt and topsoil together rather than as two separate deliveries. It saves a truck trip and lets you sequence the work in one weekend, compacting the fill first and capping it once you're satisfied the grade is right, before frost season sets in around mid November.

Grading and Filling in Denton

Denton sits on clay loam that drains slowly, which means low areas around foundations, pools, and yard edges tend to hold water long after a storm passes. Fill dirt is the structural fix for that, not a growing medium, so it gets used to raise grade before anything gets planted or capped with topsoil. With a growing season that starts around March 15 and runs to mid November, most people here want the fill placed and compacted well ahead of planting season so it has time to settle. Given the elevation and flat terrain around town, drainage direction matters as much as the volume you bring in.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil for my Denton yard?

No, fill dirt is subsoil meant to raise or build up grade, it has the organic matter screened out and isn't meant for planting. Topsoil goes on top once your fill is compacted and graded. If you're leveling a low spot and want grass on it, you'll need both, fill for structure and topsoil as the final cap layer.

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 length and width of your low area, multiply for square footage, then divide by 54 for each 6 inches of depth you need. Most Denton yards with drainage issues need 6 to 12 inches, so double that estimate if you're going the full 12 inches.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before Denton's clay soil gets wet?

Fill dirt is project driven rather than seasonal, so it can go in any time of year, but working it when the clay loam is dry makes compaction much more effective. Late summer through early fall, before Denton's first frost around November 16, tends to give the driest conditions and the most workable ground for compacting lifts properly.

Answer

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

The load gets dumped in one spot that you designate, so make sure there's a clear path wide enough for the delivery truck to reach it. You'll want a wheelbarrow or loader ready to move material from the drop point to the actual low spot if they're not the same place, since the driver places the load but doesn't spread it.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or a sand and clay mix for backfilling around my pool?

Fill dirt works well for general backfill and raising grade, and it's what most Denton contractors use around foundations and pools because it compacts predictably in lifts. If you have very specific drainage or engineering requirements near a pool wall, ask your contractor, but for typical backfill and grade raising, screened fill dirt is the standard choice.
