One cubic yard of fill dirt covers roughly 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs here call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you are correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything beyond a small backfill job, it is worth rounding up rather than running short mid project.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Most fill jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is set, since fill dirt on its own will not support grass or planting beds. If the area will see foot traffic or drainage flow, a layer of gravel underneath or alongside the fill helps keep things stable through OKC's wetter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pour. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, especially over OKC clay, which already moves with moisture. Skipping compaction means the ground keeps settling for a year or two after you think the job is done, and you will see it as dips near foundations or low spots reappearing in what used to be a flat yard.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake here is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. Fill dirt has no nutrient value and compacts too tight for roots to establish. Always cap the finished, compacted fill with a few inches of real topsoil before seeding, sodding, or planting anything, otherwise you will fight poor drainage and stunted growth in that spot for seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since fill dirt is project driven rather than seasonal, order it based on your excavation or grading timeline rather than waiting for a particular month. If you are also bringing in topsoil or gravel for the same job, ordering them together and staging fill first, then topsoil, then any gravel paths, keeps the site organized and cuts down on repeated deliveries.

Grading and Filling in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City sits on heavy clay that swells when it rains and cracks hard when it dries, which is exactly why so many yards here have low spots that never drain right and foundations that need proper backfill. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to correct that grading before the clay underneath causes settling problems. With freeze and thaw running from around November 5 to April 1, any fill that is not compacted right will heave and shift over that stretch. This is a structural material, not something you plant into, so the work happens in lifts and gets capped later.

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 in Oklahoma City?

No, fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris and used strictly as a structural base, while topsoil has organic content that supports plant growth. In OKC, where the native clay is already low in organic matter, you need fill dirt to raise or correct grade first, then a topsoil cap on top if anything needs to grow there.

Answer

How much fill dirt do I need to raise a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep, so measure your low area's square footage and multiply by your target depth in feet to get cubic yards needed. Most grading corrections here run 6 to 12 inches, and it is smart to round up slightly since the fill compacts after placement.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before winter?

Since fill dirt work is driven by the project, not the calendar, the real deadline is getting it compacted before the ground freezes and shifts with the winter freeze and thaw cycle here, which typically starts around November 5. Finishing grading work before then gives the fill time to settle properly ahead of spring.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the fill dirt on my property?

The truck drops the load at the point of your driveway or yard that it can safely access, so a clear path wide enough for a full size delivery vehicle helps things go smoothly. Delivery timing is scheduled at checkout, and it helps to have your drop zone marked or staged ahead of the truck's arrival.

Answer

Can I use fill dirt instead of gravel for backfilling around my pool?

Fill dirt works well for backfilling around foundations and pools because it compacts into a stable structural base, while gravel is better suited where drainage is the priority. Many OKC jobs use fill dirt for the bulk of the backfill and compact it in lifts, sometimes with a gravel layer added where water needs somewhere to go.
