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 jobs here run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you need to raise the grade. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For deeper fills, plan on placing it in lifts rather than one thick pour.

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 in Kenosha finish with a cap of topsoil once the fill is compacted, especially if grass or landscaping is going back over it. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, a layer of gravel underneath can help with drainage before the fill goes in. Mulch or edging comes later, once the grade itself is settled and solid.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not something you dump and walk away from. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, especially with Kenosha's clay loam base, which holds moisture and resists settling evenly on its own. Skip this step and you will likely see the ground sink unevenly over a season or two, particularly near foundations where drainage patterns already push water toward low spots.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is planting or seeding directly into fill dirt. It is subsoil, screened of debris but stripped of the organic matter that supports root growth. Cap any fill area with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before putting grass seed or plants in, or you will fight poor growth no matter how much fertilizer gets used afterward.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are backfilling a large area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer where roots actually need it. This keeps costs reasonable since topsoil runs more per yard than fill, and it matches how the material is actually meant to be used, structure below, growing medium on top.
Grading and Filling in Kenosha
Kenosha sits on clay loam that drains slowly and shifts as it freezes and thaws through zone 5b winters, so low areas near foundations and pool decks tend to reappear year after year if they are not built up with real structural fill. Homeowners near the lighthouse and older lakefront lots often deal with uneven grading from decades of settling. Fill dirt gets compacted in place to give you a stable base, not a quick patch that sinks again by spring. It is the material for the grading problem itself, not for anything you plan to plant directly into.
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.
