Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you are raising the grade. For a low spot or foundation backfill, measure the area and decide your target depth first, then order in cubic yards from there. Larger jobs, like building up a full yard before topsoil, add up fast so it helps to break the area into sections and total them.

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.

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!

Fill dirt is a base layer, not a finish, so most jobs cap it with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set and compacted. If you are backfilling near plantings or a new lawn, ordering topsoil for delivery alongside the fill saves a second trip. Some foundation and pool jobs also pair fill with gravel for drainage layers underneath.

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 layer before adding the next, especially over Jackson's clay subsoil which already drains slowly. Skipping compaction means the ground keeps settling for a year or two, and you will see dips form right where you filled, sometimes right under a new patio or shed pad.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it is structural. If anything needs to root there, whether grass, a garden bed, or landscaping near Casey Jones Village style properties, cap the compacted fill with several inches of real topsoil. Planting straight into subsoil usually ends in stunted growth because it lacks organic matter and the nutrients plants need.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Time fill dirt work for a dry stretch if you can. Jackson's clay-heavy ground gets heavy and hard to compact properly when it is saturated, which happens often given local rainfall patterns. If you are combining fill with topsoil or gravel for a bigger regrading job, ordering both in the same delivery window saves you from paying for two separate site visits and equipment moves.

Grading and Filling in Jackson

Jackson sits on heavy clay that does not drain fast, so low spots around Hub City yards and foundations tend to stay soggy well into spring. Fill dirt is the structural fix, it raises the grade so water moves away from the house instead of pooling against it. With last frost running to mid April, most people want the fill in and compacted before planting season starts. It is common here to build up ground near Casey Jones Village area properties where older lots have settled over decades.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is fill dirt in Jackson safe to use around my foundation?

Yes, that is one of its most common uses here. It is screened subsoil free of debris, used to backfill and build up grade around foundations and pools. Place it in compacted lifts of 6 to 8 inches so it does not settle unevenly against the structure later, which is especially important given how much our clay soil already shifts with moisture changes.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your low area, decide how many inches you need to raise it, and calculate from there. For example, a 300 square foot spot at 6 inches needs roughly 5.5 cubic yards, and it is smart to add about 10 percent extra for compaction settling.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before planting season?

Since Jackson's last frost typically falls around April 17, most people bring in fill dirt in late winter or early spring, compact it in lifts, then cap with topsoil in time to plant once frost risk passes. Doing it dry, before spring rains soak the clay, makes compaction a lot easier and more reliable.

Answer

Where will the fill dirt be placed on delivery day?

We place the load exactly where you point on your property, as close to your work area as the truck can safely reach. Make sure there is a clear path and enough room to maneuver, and mark your preferred drop spot ahead of time so the driver knows where to unload.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

It depends on the job. Fill dirt is structural, meant for raising grade or backfilling, and it is not meant to grow anything in directly. Topsoil is the growing medium that goes on top once your grade is set. Most projects that need both order fill first to build up the base, then cap it with topsoil.
