How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
Fill dirt runs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, and one yard spread 6 inches deep covers roughly 54 square feet. For a typical backfill or grade raise, figure your square footage, multiply by your target depth in feet, and that gives you cubic yards needed. Most raising or leveling jobs land somewhere between 6 and 12 inches deep, so a small pool surround might take a few yards while a full yard regrade can run into double digits.

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 jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the structural grade is set, especially if grass or beds are going in over it. If you're leveling a large area, some contractors mix in a base layer of crushed rock under the fill near driveways or slabs for extra stability in our clay soil. Ask about pairing fill with topsoil delivery in the same order to save a second trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pour and walk away. In Medford's clay-heavy ground, uncompacted fill keeps settling for years, sometimes unevenly, which cracks patios and pulls fence posts out of plumb. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. It takes longer up front but it is the difference between a stable grade and a yard that needs regrading every couple of seasons.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. It is subsoil, screened of debris but stripped of the organic matter and nutrients that Medford's clay-heavy topsoil usually has. Once your fill is compacted and graded, cap it with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or planting anything, or you will fight poor drainage and weak root growth from day one.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're raising a large low spot, order fill and topsoil together instead of guessing at fill volume twice. Rough grade with fill first, get it compacted, then finish with a thinner topsoil cap rather than over ordering expensive topsoil to fill depth you don't need. It is a cheaper way to hit the same finished grade, especially on bigger regrading jobs around foundations or sloped yards common in the Rogue Valley.
Grading and Filling in Medford
Medford sits on heavy clay that swells when wet and cracks hard when it dries out over our long summer stretch between April and October. That kind of ground does not drain fill water away quickly, so low spots near foundations, sheds, and pool decks tend to stay soggy well after the Rogue Valley's spring last frost passes in mid April. Bringing in fill dirt to raise those areas above grade, then capping with topsoil, keeps water moving away from structures instead of sitting against them. It is common groundwork before someone puts in a patio slab or levels a yard that slopes toward the house.
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.
