One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, which is the shallow end of a typical install. For deeper fills, closer to 12 inches, plan on roughly half that coverage per yard. Measure your low area or backfill zone in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there.

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 Marietta finish with a topsoil cap once the grade is where it needs to be, especially if grass or beds are going in on top. Some projects also pair it with gravel at the base for drainage before backfilling around a foundation or pool wall. Think of fill dirt as the structure and everything after it as the finish layer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pour and walk away. Marietta's clay base already compacts unevenly when it is wet, so build in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially near a foundation or pool wall. Skip this step and you will be watching that spot sink for the next two or three years as it settles on its own timeline instead of yours.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is treating fill dirt as something to plant into right away. It is subsoil, not topsoil, and it has none of the organic material or structure that grass or beds need. Get your grade set and compacted first, then cap with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting anything on top of it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low spot before a bigger landscaping project, order the fill dirt as its own delivery rather than trying to combine it with topsoil or mulch in one load. Fill dirt is heavier and priced differently than finish materials, so separating the orders keeps your yardage estimates cleaner and avoids paying to move material you do not need at the surface layer.

Grading and Filling in Marietta

Marietta sits on dense clay that already drains slowly, so a lot of grading work here is about correcting low areas that hold water after a storm rolls through. Fill dirt gives you a structural base to build that grade back up before anything else goes on top. It is not a growing medium, it is subsoil, so it compacts the way clay-heavy ground around here is used to behaving. Cap it with topsoil once you are at final grade and ready to plant.

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

Can I plant grass or flowers directly in fill dirt?

No, fill dirt is subsoil meant for structure and grading, not growing. It lacks the organic matter and nutrients that plants and turf need. Cap it with 3 to 4 inches of topsoil once you have reached your final grade, then plant into that layer instead.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure the square footage of your low area, decide how deep it needs to fill based on how far it has sunk, then divide the square footage by 54 for a 6 inch depth, or by roughly 27 for a 12 inch depth.

Answer

Do I need to compact the fill dirt myself?

Yes, compaction is what keeps the ground from settling later. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, especially in Marietta's clay, which holds water and shifts if it is not packed down properly during the fill process.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck drop the fill dirt?

The load is placed as close to your project area as driveway and yard access allow, based on what you tell us at checkout. Clear a path wide enough for a delivery truck and have your drop spot marked so the driver knows exactly where to place it.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Order fill dirt if you are raising grade, backfilling, or building up structure, since it is subsoil meant to hold shape once compacted. Order topsoil if something needs to grow on top. Most grading jobs in Marietta use both, fill dirt for the base and topsoil as the finish layer.
