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 fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most projects call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you are correcting. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything more than a couple inches, plan on placing it in lifts rather than one deep 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 finish with a few inches of topsoil capping the surface once the grade is set, since fill alone will not support grass or beds. If the area is near a foundation or pool deck, a layer of compactable base material underneath can help with long-term stability on our local clay. Mulch or decorative rock often follows once the topsoil and planting are in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Blackland Clay under Garland yards does not forgive shortcuts, so place fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next. Skipping compaction is the most common reason people end up with a sunken patch two years later, especially near foundations and pool decks where settling shows up as cracked concrete or standing water after storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it is structural. If anything needs to root in the area, whether grass, shrubs, or a garden bed, cap the compacted fill with several inches of actual topsoil before planting. Skipping this step means thin, patchy growth no matter how much fertilizer or water goes down afterward, since the subsoil underneath lacks organic content.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project involves both raising grade and finishing with lawn or beds, order fill dirt and topsoil as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend one material for both jobs. Fill dirt is priced and handled as a bulk structural material, while topsoil is a finer, amended product, keeping them separate usually means less waste and a cleaner finished grade.

Grading and Filling in Garland

Garland sits on Blackland Clay, which swells when wet and shrinks hard when dry, so low areas near foundations tend to hold water and settle over time. Fill dirt gives you a way to raise that grade with a stable, compactable material instead of fighting the native clay. It shows up most on foundation and pool backfill jobs and on lots being built up before sod or topsoil goes in. Because it is not a growing medium, it works well under structures and hardscape where you want density, not drainage.

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

Can I use fill dirt to level a low spot in my backyard where water pools after rain?

Yes, this is one of the most common uses for fill dirt in Garland, where Blackland Clay soil holds water in low areas. Place it in compacted lifts of 6 to 8 inches rather than dumping it all at once, and cap the top with topsoil if you want grass to grow back over it.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 200 square foot low area?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet would need roughly 3.7 cubic yards. If you need a deeper fill, say 12 inches, double that to around 7.4 cubic yards, and round up to account for compaction after placement.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself or does it settle on its own?

You need to compact it yourself, or plan on it settling unevenly for a long time. Fill dirt placed loose and left alone will keep shifting under its own weight and with rain, especially on our clay soil, so compact each 6 to 8 inch lift with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding more.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my backyard or does it have to dump in the driveway?

That depends on your gate width and yard access, most trucks need a clear path of at least 10 to 12 feet to place a load beyond the driveway. If your backyard is not accessible, we will dump in the driveway or another spot you designate, so let us know your access situation when scheduling.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for building up a garden bed?

Fill dirt for the bulk of the depth if you are building up several inches or more, then cap the top few inches with topsoil where plants will actually root. Fill dirt alone will not support healthy plant growth since it is subsoil without organic matter, but using it as the base saves you from filling the whole depth with pricier topsoil.
