About this fill dirt

Screened fill dirt free of debris, for raising low ground and backfilling. Structural material, place it in lifts and compact as you go.

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).

One cubic yard of this fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how low the area sits. Measure the low spot or backfill zone in square feet, decide your depth, and order in full cubic yards since this material is sold and delivered that way. For deeper fills, plan on doing it in lifts rather than one thick pour.

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 dirt jobs in Enid end with a layer of topsoil on top once the grade is set, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If the area needs drainage help before you backfill, a bed of gravel underneath the fill can keep water from pooling against a foundation. Mulch comes later, once topsoil and any planting are in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Enid's silt loam compacts fine when it is workable, but too wet or bone dry it either smears into a slick layer or refuses to bind at all. Aim to compact fill in 6 to 8 inch lifts when the soil has a bit of moisture in it, not right after a heavy rain and not during a dry August stretch. A hand tamper works for small areas, but anything over a few yards is worth renting a plate compactor for.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people dumping fill dirt in one thick layer and calling it done. Uncompacted fill keeps settling for months or years, which shows up later as a sunken patch near a foundation or a low spot that reappears after every rain. Compact each lift before adding the next one, even if it feels like an extra step you could skip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both structural fill and finished topsoil, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend one material to do both jobs. Fill dirt is priced and handled as subsoil, cheaper to move in bulk, while topsoil costs more because it is meant to grow things. Keeping them separate on the job also makes it easier to cap the fill cleanly once it is compacted.

Grading and Filling in Enid

Enid sits on silt loam, which holds water longer than sandy ground and tends to shift and settle if you build on it without compacting properly. A lot of the low-ground and backfill jobs we see around Government Springs Park and older Enid neighborhoods come from that same silt loam settling over decades near foundations and drainage paths. Fill dirt gives you a stable structural base to correct that, but it has to go in compacted lifts here, not dumped and left, or the silt loam underneath will keep working against you. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is where you want it, especially before Enid's spring green-up in April.

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 use fill dirt to grow grass or plants directly in it?

No, this is subsoil meant for structural work like raising grade or backfilling, not a growing medium. It lacks the organic content and nutrients topsoil has. Once your fill is compacted to the level you need, cap it with a layer of topsoil before seeding or planting anything into it.

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 low area's square footage, decide how deep it needs to go, usually 6 to 12 inches for structural fill, and divide accordingly. For a 300 square foot spot at 6 inches, that is roughly 5 to 6 cubic yards.

Answer

Do I need to compact the fill dirt myself after delivery?

Yes, compaction is on you after delivery. Spread and compact the material in 6 to 8 inch lifts rather than dumping it all at once, since uncompacted fill will settle unevenly over time. A hand tamper works for small jobs, larger areas usually call for a rented plate compactor.

Answer

Where will the truck place the fill dirt on my property?

The driver places the load wherever you direct on delivery day, as close to your project area as the truck can safely access. Clear a path beforehand and let us know if your driveway or yard access is tight, especially if Enid's soil has been soft from recent rain, since that affects where a loaded truck can maneuver.

Answer

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil for backfilling around my foundation?

No, fill dirt and topsoil serve different jobs even though both get used in backfilling. Fill dirt is subsoil built for structural stability and compacts to hold its grade, while topsoil is organic material meant to support plant growth and is not built for compaction. Use fill dirt to build up the grade, then cap with topsoil only where something needs to grow.
