How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you need to make up. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards rather than guessing by the bag. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, measure the trench volume directly rather than treating it as flat coverage.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Fill dirt does the structural work, but nothing should grow directly in it. Most jobs finish with a few inches of quality topsoil capping the fill wherever grass, beds, or sod are going back in. If the area needs drainage help before filling, a base layer of coarse sand or crushed gravel underneath can keep water from pooling against the new grade.

Areas we deliver fill dirt in Fulshear, Texas
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Clay loam like Fulshear's is already prone to holding water and shifting with moisture swings, so an uncompacted fill pad will keep settling for a year or more, cracking any concrete or sod placed on top of it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see is capping fill dirt with sod right away and expecting grass to thrive. Fill dirt is subsoil, stripped of organic matter, so it will not support healthy turf on its own. Always cap with 3 to 4 inches of topsoil before sodding or seeding, and give the fill a few weeks to settle and be watered in first if the schedule allows it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are filling a large low area, consider ordering slightly more than your calculated volume in one delivery rather than two smaller loads. Fewer deliveries means fewer truck trips compacting your driveway or yard, and it is easier to compact fill in stages from one consistent pile than to blend two separate loads that may vary slightly in moisture and clay content.
Grading and Filling in Fulshear
Fulshear sits at 121 feet elevation on clay loam that drains slowly, so low spots and areas near new construction tend to hold water long after the rest of the yard dries out. A lot of the fill work here is tied to the area's growth, backfilling around new pool installs, leveling lots before a build, or bringing a low corner up to match the rest of the property. Because the native soil is already clay heavy, adding more clay based fill without compaction just creates a denser sponge. Compacting each lift matters more here than in sandier soils.
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.
