One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most projects here run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you need to make up. A pool backfill or a foundation build up job can easily run into double digit yardage, so measure the low area first and calculate at the depth you actually plan to compact to, not just fill loosely.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill dirt jobs in Las Vegas finish with a layer of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if turf or planting beds are going in over the top. Some backfill jobs around pools or foundations also call for road base or crushed rock underneath for extra drainage through that caliche layer. If you are building up a large area, it is worth ordering both the fill and the topsoil at once so the crew is not waiting on a second load.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Caliche sits close to the surface across a lot of the valley, and it does not compact the same way as regular subsoil. When you backfill against it, place your fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next, otherwise you get soft spots where the fill meets that hardpan layer and settling shows up months later, sometimes right where a patio slab or walkway sits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see on pool and foundation jobs is skipping compaction because the schedule is tight and the crew wants to pour concrete the same week. Fill dirt that is not compacted in stages keeps settling for a year or more, which cracks slabs and pulls pavers out of level. Budget the extra day for compaction between lifts, it costs less than fixing a cracked patio later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are building up a large low spot before landscaping, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and cap only the top few inches with topsoil. Fill dirt is not meant to grow anything and costs less per yard than topsoil, so using it for the structural base and saving topsoil for just the planting layer gets you the same result without paying for growing medium you are going to bury.

Grading and Filling in Las Vegas

Las Vegas sits on sandy, caliche-heavy ground that does not hold a shape well once you start digging into it, which is exactly why so many jobs here need imported fill. Pool installs, patio pads, and additions all cut through that hardpan and leave uneven ground that needs building back up before anything else can happen. Because fill dirt is a structural material and not something plants grow in, it works the same way here as anywhere, but the caliche layer underneath means compaction and drainage planning matter more than usual. Cap it with real topsoil once the grade is where you want it.

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 the same as topsoil here in Las Vegas?

No, they are different materials. Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grade or backfill, it has no organic content and nothing grows well in it directly. Topsoil goes on top of fill once your grade is set, usually in the last few inches, wherever grass or plants are going in.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to backfill around my new pool?

It depends on the gap between the pool wall and the excavation, but a typical residential pool backfill runs anywhere from 15 to 40 cubic yards. Measure the width and depth of the gap around the shell, multiply by the perimeter length, and convert to cubic yards, or give us those measurements and we can help you size the order.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt before building on it?

Yes. Fill dirt is a structural material, not a finished surface, and it needs to be placed in 6 to 8 inch lifts with each layer compacted before adding the next. Skipping compaction means the ground keeps settling for a year or more, which shows up as cracked concrete or uneven pavers later.

Answer

Can your truck get into a backyard for a pool project?

Our trucks deliver to where they can safely access, which for most Las Vegas properties means the driveway or front yard rather than a fenced backyard. For pool jobs, we typically drop the load as close to the work area as the truck can reach, and you or your contractor move it in with equipment from there.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or road base for backfilling around my foundation?

Fill dirt works fine for most foundation backfill and costs less per yard, but road base compacts tighter and drains better if the area sees water runoff or sits near irrigation. Given how much caliche is already in the ground here, either works, it comes down to how much drainage you need in that specific spot.
