One cubic yard 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 in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For larger jobs like pool backfill or full yard regrading, it adds up fast, so it helps to break the area into sections and total them separately.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Most fill dirt jobs in Orem finish with a topsoil cap once the grade is built up, especially if grass or beds are going in on top. If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, a layer of compactable base gravel underneath the fill can help with drainage before you bring in the dirt. Mulch or bark comes later, once the growing layer is in place.
Service area
Alkaline loam like what you have around Orem can hold water at the surface longer than sandy soil, which slows compaction if you rush the job. Place fill dirt in lifts of no more than 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, especially near foundations or pool walls. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with sunken spots a year or two later, right when they thought the job was done.
A common mistake is treating fill dirt like it is ready for planting straight away. It is subsoil, not topsoil, so it lacks the organic matter and structure that roots need. If you are building up a bed or lawn area, always cap the fill with several inches of real topsoil once the fill has been compacted and settled, otherwise you will fight poor drainage and stunted growth for seasons.
Because fill dirt is a structural material rather than a finish material, it makes sense to order exactly what the grading calls for rather than rounding way up. Pair a fill dirt delivery with a smaller topsoil order for the cap layer instead of buying one blended product, since the two serve completely different jobs and blending them wastes the fill's compaction strength.
Orem sits at 4,767 feet on alkaline loam, and a lot of the older neighborhoods have settled unevenly over the decades, leaving low spots near foundations and along fence lines. With frost arriving around October 21 and lasting into late April, contractors here work in a tighter window and need fill that compacts predictably rather than shifting the next spring. Fill dirt is the right call for pool backfill, foundation grading, and building up sunken yard areas before topsoil goes on top. It is not a growing medium, so anything you plan to plant still needs a topsoil cap.
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.
