How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you're correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your depth, and order in cubic yards from there, rounding up rather than short since a second delivery costs more than a little extra material sitting in place.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil capping the surface, since fill is a structural base, not something anything will grow in on its own. If the final grade needs to hold plants or turf, order topsoil for the top layer and mulch for the finish once you're planting. For drainage-sensitive spots, some contractors mix in a base of crushed gravel below the fill before capping.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lubbock's sandy loam compacts differently than clay, it settles fast under weight but can wash out in a heavy rain before it's tamped. Place fill in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor before adding the next layer, don't just dump the whole load and grade it flat. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with sunken spots along a foundation two years later.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. Fill dirt has no organic matter and compacts too hard for roots to push through, so always cap the final grade with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding, sodding, or planting beds. Skip that step and grass struggles no matter how much water or fertilizer goes down.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're filling a large low area, don't over order fill dirt and use it where a cheaper base material like crushed rock would do the structural work just as well underneath. Save the fill dirt volume for the top few feet where fine grading matters, and use it efficiently rather than as the entire depth of a deep hole.
Grading and Filling in Lubbock
Lubbock sits at 3,256 feet with sandy loam soil that drains fast but shifts easily once it's disturbed, which is exactly why backfill around foundations and pools needs compaction, not just dumped dirt. A lot of the grading issues we see out here come from flat lots where water has nowhere to go until someone raises the low corner. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to work from, whether that's leveling a spot for a slab, closing a trench, or building a pad before topsoil and sod go on top.
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.
