How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most projects here call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you are raising the grade. If you are filling a pool area or a large low spot, measure the length and width in feet, multiply by your target depth in feet, and that gives you cubic yards needed. Because fill dirt runs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, larger orders add up in weight fast, so it helps to know your total volume before you order.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs in Graham finish with a layer of topsoil on top, since the subsoil itself will not support grass or planting. If you are leveling a yard before landscaping, ordering both in the same delivery window saves a second trip and lets you go straight from compacting the fill to spreading topsoil.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not something you dump in one thick pile and walk away from. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, especially if you are building up ground near a foundation or pool wall. Skipping this step is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard has a sunken spot where the fill was.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Because Graham gets steady rain from fall through spring, timing matters more than people expect. Wet fill dirt does not compact well and can shift as it dries, so if you are doing a large fill, working during a drier stretch gives you a much more stable result than trying to compact soaked material in December.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project needs both fill and topsoil, like leveling a yard before seeding, order the fill dirt first and plan the topsoil as a thinner capping layer once the grade is set. This keeps you from over-ordering topsoil, which costs more per yard, when the bulk of the volume can be handled by fill dirt instead.
Grading and Filling in Graham
Graham sits at 830 feet in the Cascade foothills, and a lot of properties here have low pockets or uneven grading left over from the gravelly sandy loam base draining unevenly after fall and winter rain. Fill dirt is what people bring in to correct that, whether it is a soggy backyard corner or a foundation area that needs building up before construction. Because this is subsoil and not topsoil, it is meant to be structural, not something to plant into directly. Most jobs here involve compacting it in stages and then capping with topsoil once the grade is right.
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.
