How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Most jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you are raising the grade, so a 10x10 low spot at 6 inches needs roughly 2 yards, and doubling the depth roughly doubles the yardage. Measure the actual low area first, not the whole yard, since fill dirt is for correcting specific trouble spots.

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
Fill dirt does the structural work, but it needs a cap. Most jobs pair it with topsoil on top for anything that needs to grow grass or plants, and some backfill jobs around pools or foundations benefit from a layer of sand for drainage before the fill goes in. Talk to us about what the finished surface needs to be before ordering just the fill.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt has to go down in lifts, not one big dump. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch layers and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this step and the ground keeps settling for a year or more, which shows up as dips near foundations or low spots reappearing in the lawn. On sandy loam like Longview has, compaction still matters even though the soil drains fast, because loose fill settles under its own weight regardless of drainage.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant straight into it. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, so grass seed and root systems struggle. Always cap the final grade with 3 to 4 inches of actual topsoil once the fill is compacted and settled. If you are backfilling near a foundation, slope the final grade away from the structure so water does not pool against it during the wetter months.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order a little more than your calculation says, especially on backfill jobs, since compaction eats into volume more than people expect. It is cheaper to have a small extra amount on site than to schedule a second delivery for half a yard. If your project also needs topsoil to finish the grade, ordering both at once from the same delivery saves a second truck trip and a second wait for scheduling.
Grading and Filling in Longview
Longview sits on sandy loam that drains well near the surface but plenty of properties have clay layers underneath that keep water sitting in low areas after storms. Fill dirt is the tool for correcting that grade before anything else happens, whether it is a spot near the house that stays soft or a low corner of the yard that never dries out. This is not a growing medium, it is structural material meant to be compacted and built on. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is right and whatever you plant will root into something better than raw subsoil.
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.
