Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Most structural jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep, so a 10 by 10 foot low spot at 6 inches needs roughly 2 cubic yards, and doubling the depth roughly doubles the yardage. Measure the length and width of the area you're filling and decide how deep you need to build up before you order.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill dirt jobs in Nacogdoches finish with a cap of topsoil once the fill is compacted, especially if grass or beds are going in over it. Some customers also order sand for drainage layers around foundations or pools before the fill goes in. If you're building up a large area, ask about combining a fill delivery with a topsoil delivery to save a trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it's a structural base, so don't skip compaction thinking the ground will settle on its own. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next. In Nacogdoches's mixed sandy loam and clay subsoil, uncompacted fill can keep settling for a year or more, leaving dips right where you didn't want them, especially near foundations and pool decks.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is capping fill dirt with topsoil the same day it's placed and expecting grass to take right away. Give compacted fill a few weeks to settle, especially after a rain event, before you cap and seed. Nacogdoches's spring rains from March through May can reveal soft spots you missed, and it's easier to fix those before topsoil goes down than after.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both structural fill and a growing layer on top, order them as separate materials rather than trying to blend fill and topsoil together. Fill dirt is priced and delivered by the cubic yard as raw subsoil, so keeping the layers distinct also makes it easier to get your quantities right and avoids wasting good topsoil mixed into a base layer where it won't do any good.

Grading and Filling in Nacogdoches

Nacogdoches sandy loam drains fast on top but the clay layers underneath can hold water and shift, which is exactly why low areas near foundations and pool decks settle unevenly over time. Fill dirt gives you a structural base to correct that grade before anything else goes on top. With elevation around 331 feet and a long growing season from March to November, exposed fill can erode quickly in a downpour if it's not compacted and capped. This is subsoil, not topsoil, so it's built for structure, not for planting.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil, screened of debris, meant to build up or level ground structurally. Topsoil is a growing medium with organic content, meant for planting. If you're raising a low spot and then putting in grass or a bed, you need fill dirt for the base and topsoil as a cap on top.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 200 square foot low area?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards, call it 4 to be safe. If you need a full 12 inches of fill, double that to around 7 to 8 cubic yards.

Answer

Can I install fill dirt myself without heavy equipment?

Yes for smaller areas, but you need to compact it in 6 to 8 inch lifts using a hand tamper or a rented plate compactor, not just dump and walk away. Skipping compaction is the main reason fill settles unevenly over the following seasons, especially in Nacogdoches's mixed sandy loam and clay soils.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my backyard?

Delivery trucks place material as close to your project as driveway and yard access allow, but they generally can't drive across lawns or through narrow gates. Clear your access path before your scheduled date, and if your yard access is tight, you may need to move the load the last stretch with a wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or sand to raise the grade around my pool?

Fill dirt is the better choice for the bulk of the build up, since it compacts into a stable structural base once placed in lifts. Sand is often used as a thin drainage layer directly against a pool wall or foundation. For most grade raising work around a pool deck in Nacogdoches, fill dirt does the heavy lifting.
