One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs here call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area is. Measure the square footage of the low spot or pad first, then figure your depth in 6 inch lifts since that's how it needs to be compacted anyway. For anything larger than a small yard fix, ordering by the cubic yard delivered saves you multiple truck trips.

Most fill dirt jobs around here get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if grass or beds are going back in on top. If you're building up around a pool or foundation, a layer of compactable gravel underneath the fill can help with drainage in this sandy, high water table ground. Ask about pairing quantities if you're ordering both in one delivery.
Service area
Fill dirt in the Myrtle Beach area needs to go down in lifts of 6 to 8 inches, each one compacted with a plate compactor or hand tamper before the next goes on. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people see their pool deck or shed pad sink a season later. In this sandy, high water table ground, uncompacted fill holds moisture and settles unevenly, so budget the extra time for compaction, it's not optional here.
A common mistake is trying to grow grass or plants directly in fill dirt. It's subsoil, stripped of organic matter, and won't support root growth well even in our mild zone 8b climate. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting, and give the fill itself time to settle through at least one rain cycle first.
If your project needs both fill dirt and topsoil, order the fill first and let it settle and compact over a few days before the topsoil goes on top. This avoids the two materials mixing at the seam, which weakens the cap layer. It also lets you spot and fix any low spots in the fill before you bury the problem under good soil.
Myrtle Beach sits at just 26 feet of elevation on sandy, fast draining soil, which sounds like an easy building surface but actually settles and shifts more than people expect once you load weight on it. Pool decks, shed pads, and low yard corners near the Grand Strand's flat terrain need real structural fill, not just topsoil pushed around. Because the water table is shallow here, proper compacted lifts matter more than in drier inland areas, or the fill will hold water and sink again. This is subsoil for building up ground, not for growing anything until it's capped.
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 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.
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.
