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 10 by 10 foot low spot needs roughly two yards to hit that depth, more if you're going to the 12 inch end of the typical range. Measure the area and the depth you actually need before ordering, since fill dirt is sold and delivered by the cubic yard, not the bag.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where you want it, since fill dirt itself is a structural material and won't support lawn or planting on its own. If the finished area will see grass or landscaping, order topsoil for the top few inches after the fill is compacted. Some pool and foundation jobs also pair fill with gravel for drainage layers underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not something you dump and grade in one pass, especially over Kokomo's clay loam base. Spread it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see their backfilled areas sink a few inches over the following year, sometimes pulling a patio or walkway down with them.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is treating fill dirt as a growing medium and seeding or sodding directly on top of it. It's subsoil, stripped of the organic content that plants need, so cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil once your grade is set and compacted. Do this before Kokomo's first frost around October 18 if you want grass established before winter dormancy.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're backfilling a large area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, since topsoil costs more per yard and isn't needed structurally underground. This split approach handles pool backfills, foundation grading, and low spot fills without paying premium material rates for volume that's just going to be buried anyway.
Grading and Filling in Kokomo
Kokomo sits on silty clay loam, a soil that compacts unevenly if you just dump it and walk away, which is exactly why raised areas and old backfill spots around town sink over a few seasons. Fill dirt gives you a denser, more consistent base than reworking the native clay loam on site. It matters most on foundation backfill, pool decks, and any low ground that collects water after Kokomo's spring thaw. Get the compaction right in 6 to 8 inch lifts and the settling problem mostly goes away.
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.
