How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, which is the minimum working depth for most fill jobs. For deeper fills, figure your square footage against 6 to 12 inches of coverage and order in 6 to 8 inch lift increments since that's how it needs to be placed and compacted anyway. Most foundation backfill or low spot jobs in Eugene run somewhere between a few cubic yards and a full truckload depending on the depth needed.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top if anything needs to grow there, since fill dirt is a structural base and not a growing medium. If you're building up before sod or a garden bed, order topsoil for the top few inches and use fill dirt for everything underneath. A compactor or hand tamper is worth renting if you're doing more than a spot fix.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Eugene's silty clay holds moisture longer than sandier soils, so don't compact fill dirt when it's saturated from fall or winter rain. Wait for a dry stretch, work it in 6 to 8 inch lifts, and tamp each layer before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch two years later, especially over backfilled foundation trenches where settling shows up as a visible dip along the wall line.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is planting directly into fill dirt because it looks like soil once it's spread. It isn't. Fill dirt is subsoil with the organic matter and nutrients screened out, so anything you plant in it straight will struggle. Always cap with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding grass or putting in beds, even if the fill layer underneath is doing exactly what it should structurally.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're leveling a yard with both low and high spots, don't over order fill dirt for areas you could instead grade down using material you already have on site. Save the delivered fill for the genuinely low ground and foundation backfill, where you actually need imported structural material. Pairing a modest fill delivery with on site grading and a topsoil cap usually gets the job done for less total material than filling everything from scratch.
Grading and Filling in Eugene
Eugene sits on silty clay that drains slowly and shifts with the wet season, which is most of the year here. When you're raising a low corner of the yard or backfilling around a new foundation, fill dirt gives you a compactable base that won't keep sinking the way loose native soil does. This matters more here than in sandier climates, because that clay stays saturated well into spring and any uncompacted fill will settle unevenly once it dries out. Cap it with topsoil before planting anything, since fill dirt itself isn't meant to grow 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.
