One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you need to make up. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order by the yard rather than guessing bag counts, since this material moves by weight and volume both.

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

Fill dirt is structural, not something to plant into, so most jobs cap it with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set. If you are backfilling near a foundation or patio base, a layer of compacted base material underneath the fill can help with long term stability on our clay soils.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fort Worth clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, so dumping fill in one deep layer almost guarantees settling cracks and low spots reappearing within a year or two. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially near foundations or patios. A hand tamper works for small areas, but a plate compactor is worth renting for anything backfilling a pool or a large low spot.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, so grass and roots struggle. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or sodding, and let the fill settle for a few weeks first if the schedule allows it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project also needs topsoil on top, order both in the same delivery window to save a second trip charge, since fill dirt and topsoil are often loaded from the same yard visit. For pool backfills, ask about compactable fill specifically, since some loads have more clay content than others and clay compacts differently than a sandier mix.

Grading and Filling in Fort Worth

With Fort Worth sitting at 653 feet and a lot of neighborhoods built on that clay and sandy base, water tends to pool in low spots instead of draining through. Fill dirt is the fix for that, used to raise grade around foundations, backfill after pool removal, or build up a low corner of the yard before topsoil goes down. Because our clay holds water and shrinks and swells with the wet and dry cycles here, get the fill compacted in lifts rather than dumped and left, or you will be filling the same low spot again next spring.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil for my Fort Worth yard?

No, fill dirt is subsoil meant for raising grade or backfilling, it has no organic matter and is not meant to grow anything. Topsoil goes on top of it once the grade is set. If you are trying to fix a low spot and grow grass over it, you need both, fill underneath and topsoil on top.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to backfill an old pool?

It depends on the pool's dimensions, but a rough method is multiplying length by width by depth in feet, then dividing by 27 to get cubic yards. A typical inground pool backfill can run anywhere from 20 to 60 cubic yards, so measure the actual cavity depth before ordering rather than estimating from the surface.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt in Fort Worth?

Fill dirt is a project driven material, not a seasonal one, so timing depends on your job rather than the calendar. That said, working it in during drier stretches makes compaction easier, since our clay gets sticky and hard to work when saturated. Avoid dumping right before heavy rain if you can help it.

Answer

Can the delivery truck dump fill dirt right where I need it?

The truck places the load at a single accessible point near your work area, it does not spread or move the pile once dropped. Make sure there is a clear path for a full size truck, especially through gates or narrow side yards, and let us know at checkout if access is tight.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or a fill sand and dirt blend for my project?

Straight fill dirt works well for most grade raising and backfill jobs in Fort Worth's clay based soil, since it compacts firmly in lifts. Sand blends drain faster but compact less densely, which matters more if you are dealing with pooling water elsewhere on the property. For foundation or structural backfill, straight fill dirt compacted properly is usually the more predictable choice.
