How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
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 deep depending on how much you need to raise the grade. Measure the low area's square footage and decide your target depth first, then order in cubic yards from there. For anything over a few inches, plan on multiple compacted lifts rather than one deep dump.

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
Most fill dirt jobs in McKinney finish with a few inches of topsoil capping the fill so grass or beds can actually grow, since fill dirt itself is not a growing medium. If you're regrading near a foundation or pool, a layer of crushed stone or road base under patios and walkways helps with drainage on top of this area's slow-draining clay. Ordering fill and topsoil together on one delivery schedule saves you a second trip.

Areas we deliver fill dirt in McKinney, Texas
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Houston Black Clay expands and contracts a lot with moisture, so never compact fill dirt directly against a foundation wall without a plan for drainage behind it. Water that gets trapped between fresh fill and an existing wall has nowhere to go in this clay and can push against the structure over time. Slope the fill slightly away from foundations as you build each lift, and keep the final grade at least a few inches below siding or brick veneer.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see is dumping fill dirt in one thick layer and calling it done. It will look fine for a season and then settle unevenly, especially over McKinney's clay, which moves with the weather. Build it in 6 to 8 inch lifts, compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next, and you'll avoid the sunken spots that show up a year later.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project needs both fill dirt and topsoil, order them for the same delivery when you can, it's more efficient than scheduling two separate trips to the same address. Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth since it's denser and cheaper to move in volume, then cap the last 2 to 3 inches with topsoil where you actually need something to grow, whether that's turf or a bed.
Grading and Filling in McKinney
McKinney sits on Houston Black Clay, which swells when it is wet and shrinks hard when it dries, and that movement is exactly why so many properties here end up with low spots near foundations, patios, and pool decks. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to build back up to grade before you cap with topsoil or lay pavers. Because the clay drains slowly, getting the grade right around structures matters more here than in sandier soils, standing water sits longer and does more damage. This material is built for that regrading work, not for planting straight into.
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.
