Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. If you are raising a low spot 8 to 12 inches deep, plan on roughly 40 to 50 square feet of coverage per yard, so measure the area first and work backward from there. Most backfill and grading jobs in Parkland run somewhere between a few yards for a small low spot to a dozen or more for a full yard regrade.

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.

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grading is where you want it, since fill alone will not support grass or planting beds. Some Parkland customers also pair fill with a load of sand for pool deck subbase work, given how sandy the base soil already runs here.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt has to go down in lifts, not one big dump. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch layers and compact each one with a plate compactor before adding the next. In Parkland's sandy soil, skipping this step is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard has a sunken patch near the pool deck or foundation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not confuse fill dirt with topsoil. Fill is subsoil, screened of debris but not fertile, and grass or plants will struggle or fail in it directly. Always cap your final grade with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil if anything needs to grow there, whether that is sod, a garden bed, or just ordinary lawn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil for just the top layer, since topsoil costs more and you do not need fertility eight inches down. This split approach is standard for pool cage backfill and yard regrades around Parkland, where the sandy base already drains well and the real issue is just raising the grade.

Grading and Filling in Parkland

Parkland sits at about 15 feet of elevation on sandy soil, which drains fast but also settles and shifts around pool decks, patios, and foundations over time. A lot of the fill work we deliver for here is backfilling around pool cages and screen enclosures, or raising low corners of yards near Pine Trails Park where water tends to pool after summer storms. Sandy native soil means fill needs to be compacted properly, not just dumped and graded, or it will keep settling for seasons. This is structural material for building up ground, not something you plant into directly.

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 for my Parkland yard?

No, fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, used to raise or build up ground. It does not have the organic content to grow grass or plants well. If you are regrading a low spot and then planting or sodding it, cap the fill with a few inches of topsoil on top.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need to raise a low spot?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your low area in square feet, decide how deep you need to fill it, and use that ratio to estimate yardage, then round up slightly since compaction will settle the material lower than it sits loose.

Answer

Can I just dump the fill dirt and grade it myself?

You can spread it yourself, but it needs to go down in 6 to 8 inch lifts with each layer compacted before adding more. Dumping a full depth in one pass leaves loose material that keeps settling for months or years, especially in Parkland's sandy soil around pools and foundations.

Answer

Where will the fill dirt be placed on delivery day?

The driver places the load as close to your work area as truck access allows, typically in a driveway or at the curb. Clear the drop zone ahead of time and let us know at checkout if access is tight, since a full truck needs reasonable clearance to maneuver.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for backfilling around my pool cage?

Fill dirt is the right choice for the bulk backfill since it is a structural material meant for building up ground, and it costs less than topsoil for that purpose. Save topsoil for the last few inches if you plan to plant or sod anywhere near the finished grade.
