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, so a small low spot might only need a yard or two while a foundation backfill or building pad can run into double digits. Figure your square footage first, then decide your depth based on how much you need to raise the grade, typically 6 to 12 inches for most jobs. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly since compaction will settle the pile.

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 jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top once the grade is set, especially if grass or beds are going in over the filled area. Some Harrison customers also order crushed stone for a base under patios or driveways built on top of the leveled ground. If the fill is going in around a foundation, check with your builder on any drainage gravel requirements before you cap it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Cherty silt loam around Harrison often sits on uneven bedrock, so before you fill a low spot, dig a test hole or two to see what you are actually working with. If there is loose organic material or old debris under the surface, pull it out first. Filling over soft or organic ground just gives you a spot that keeps sinking no matter how well you compact the dirt on top.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake we see on backfill jobs is dumping the whole load in one shot and calling it done. Fill dirt needs to go in 6 to 8 inch lifts, each one compacted with a plate tamper or hand tamper before the next layer goes on. Skip this and the ground will keep settling for a year or two, showing up as dips near foundations or under patios after the first few freeze thaw cycles.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are filling a large area, it is worth ordering slightly more than your calculated volume rather than running short mid project, since a second delivery means paying for another trip. Pair the fill with a cap of topsoil only where something needs to grow, there is no reason to pay for topsoil under a shed pad or driveway base where fill dirt alone does the job.
Grading and Filling in Harrison
Harrison sits on cherty silt loam, which drains fine on the surface but often hides uneven rock and clay pockets underneath once you start digging. That makes fill dirt the material people reach for when leveling a yard before a patio or shed pad, or backfilling around a new foundation on the sloped lots common around town. Because it is a structural material, it is not meant to grow anything, it is meant to hold shape and stay put after compaction. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is set and you are ready to plant.
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.
