About this fill dirt

Screened fill dirt free of debris, for raising low ground and backfilling. Structural material, place it in lifts and compact as you go.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 10 foot low spot filled to 6 inches runs close to 2 cubic yards. For deeper fills, figure closer to 12 inches, which roughly doubles that number per square foot. Measure the area and target depth first, then order in full cubic yards since it's sold that way.

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 jobs around Lebanon get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, especially if grass or planting beds go on top. If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, gravel underneath for drainage is worth considering before the fill goes in. Fill dirt handles the bulk and the structure, topsoil handles what grows.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't dump fill dirt in one deep pour. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially with Lebanon's glacial till subsoil, which already drains unevenly and won't forgive a soft, uncompacted base. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see sunken spots or cracked pavement a year or two later, once frost has worked through a poorly settled fill.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it's structural. If anything is going in the top layer, whether grass, a garden bed, or shrubs, cap the fill with several inches of real topsoil. People sometimes skip this step to save a delivery and end up with poor drainage and stunted plants because the subsoil underneath has no organic content.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large area, pair fill dirt with a load of gravel for the base layer under anything load bearing, like a patio or shed pad, and save the fill for the bulk volume above it. This keeps costs sensible since gravel compacts more reliably for structural support while fill dirt handles raising the grade efficiently over a larger footprint.

Grading and Filling in Lebanon

Lebanon sits on glacial till, which is dense, rocky, and uneven in how it drains from one lot to the next. That makes fill dirt a practical fix for the low corners and settled spots that show up around foundations and old pool areas near the Upper Valley Hub. With frost reaching well into the ground here from October through April, poorly compacted fill will heave and settle again come spring thaw. Building it up right the first time in proper lifts matters more in this climate than in places with milder winters.

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.

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to level my whole backyard in Lebanon?

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low or uneven yards before finishing with topsoil and grass. Given Lebanon's glacial till soil, expect some natural unevenness in drainage across the yard, so plan your grading to slope water away from the foundation as you build up the fill.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a small pool backfill?

A typical above ground pool removal backfill runs 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on the pool's diameter and depth, since fill dirt covers about 54 square feet per yard at 6 inches. Measure the excavated depth first, since pool backfills often need close to 12 inches or more.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before winter hits?

Aim to finish major fill and compaction work before ground freeze, which typically sets in around early October here. Fill placed and compacted before frost has time to settle properly rather than fighting frozen, hard to work soil once winter arrives.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my property?

Most driveways and yards in the Lebanon area are accessible for delivery, but tight or steep approaches can limit where the truck drops the load. Let us know about narrow driveways or low clearance issues, and the load will be placed as close to your work area as the truck can safely reach.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is for raising grade, backfilling, and structural buildup, it's subsoil without the organic content needed for growing. Topsoil goes on top for anything you plan to plant. Most projects that need real volume use fill dirt for the bulk and a thinner cap of topsoil on top.
