About this fill dirt

Inorganic subsoil for filling holes, raising low ground, and backfill. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix, this is structural material and not a growing medium. Do not use it to level a lawn surface or fill flower beds, put topsoil over it for anything you want to plant. Place it in lifts and compact as you go.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs here call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you're correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your depth based on how much settling room you have, and order in full cubic yards since this is a structural material, not a topdressing. For backfill around a foundation or pool wall, figure the depth of the gap you're filling, not just the surface area.

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

Fill dirt is a structural base, not a growing medium, so most jobs around here finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if grass or plantings are going in on top. If the area drains poorly to begin with, a layer of gravel underneath before the fill can help move water away from a foundation rather than trapping it against the sandy loam. Mulch comes in later, once the finish layer is down and something's actually growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sandy loam like what's common around Lexington Park compacts well but only if you work it in lifts. Spread fill dirt in layers of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next, whether with a plate compactor or by wheel-rolling with equipment you already have on site. Skipping straight to a full 12 inch dump might look done on day one, but it will keep settling for a year or more, especially near a foundation where water works its way through.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake on backfill jobs here is treating fill dirt like it can grow something. It can't, it's subsoil with the organic material screened out on purpose so it doesn't decompose and sink later. Once your grade is set and compacted, cap the area with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting. Skip that step and grass will struggle no matter how much water or fertilizer goes down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low spot and also planning a planting bed or lawn repair nearby, order fill dirt and topsoil in the same delivery window rather than as two separate trips. It's a small scheduling change that avoids paying for a second truck to make the same trip, and it keeps your project moving instead of stalled waiting on the second material.

Grading and Filling in Lexington Park

Lexington Park sits at just 115 feet elevation with sandy loam soil that drains well but shifts over time, especially near Pax River where groundwater is closer to the surface than people expect. That combination means low spots near foundations, sheds, and pool decks tend to reappear year after year if they're filled with whatever loose soil is on hand. Structural fill dirt, compacted in lifts, holds its grade instead of settling into a new low spot by next spring. It's the material for jobs where the ground itself needs to change, not just get covered.

What Fill Dirt Is

Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. 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?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris and used to raise or fill low areas structurally, it has little organic matter and won't support plant growth well on its own. Topsoil goes on top as a finish layer where grass or plants need to root. Most projects here use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and cap it with topsoil.

Answer

How much fill dirt do I need to fill in a low spot by my pool?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep, so measure your low area's square footage and multiply by your target depth in feet, then convert to cubic yards. For most backfill and low spot jobs around Lexington Park, 6 to 12 inches is typical depending on how much settling has already happened.

Answer

Can I dump fill dirt in one deep layer or does it need to be spread out?

Spread and compact it in 6 to 8 inch lifts rather than one deep dump. This matters especially in sandy loam areas like Lexington Park, since a single thick layer will settle unevenly over the following seasons, undoing the grade work you just did. Compacting each layer as you go keeps the fill stable long term.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the fill dirt?

As close to your work area as the truck can safely access, delivery is scheduled at checkout once you confirm the drop location. Clear a path of at least 10 to 12 feet for the truck and make sure there's room to tip the load without hitting fences, low branches, or soft ground that could get rutted.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or gravel to fix drainage near my foundation?

It depends on the goal. Fill dirt raises grade and fills volume but doesn't move water any better than the soil already there, while gravel underneath can improve drainage before you cap with fill and topsoil. For foundation work in an area with a high water table like parts of Lexington Park near Pax River, a gravel base under fill dirt is often the more durable fix.
