One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 20 foot low spot at that depth runs close to 4 yards. For deeper fill, figure your cubic footage first, divide by 27, and add a bit extra since compaction will settle the lifts lower than they start. Since it's sold by the cubic yard, it helps to measure your low spot's length, width, and target depth 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top if grass, beds, or anything else needs to grow there, since fill itself is subsoil and not meant to support root growth. Some Pasco customers also pair it with a load of gravel or crushed rock for drainage under patios, sheds, or driveway approaches. If you're building up a large area, it's worth planning the topsoil order at the same time so you're not waiting on a second delivery.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt should go down in 6 to 8 inch lifts, with each layer compacted before the next goes on top. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken yard two years later, especially over sandy loam like Pasco has, where loose fill settles unevenly once it gets wet. A hand tamper works for small spots, but rent a plate compactor for anything larger than a flower bed sized area.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Pasco is dry for most of the year, fill dirt can sit loose and dusty if you don't compact it soon after delivery. Don't wait weeks to work it in, especially before the fall rains start around late October. Compacting while the soil has a bit of moisture in it gives you a denser, more stable base than compacting bone dry material.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and finish with a thinner topsoil cap rather than filling the whole hole with topsoil. Topsoil costs more and doesn't compact the same way, so using it only where roots actually need it saves material and gives you a more stable base underneath.

Grading and Filling in Pasco

Pasco sits on sandy loam over a mostly arid, low elevation landscape near the confluence of the rivers, and a lot of properties here have soft, uneven, or low spots that were never properly graded when the lot was built out. Fill dirt is the structural fix for that, not a growing medium, so it needs to be compacted in place rather than just dumped and left. With the dry high desert climate here, compacted fill actually holds its shape well between rains, which makes this a good region to get grading work done right the first time. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is set if you're planting anything on top.

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

Can I plant grass or a garden directly in fill dirt?

No, fill dirt is subsoil meant for structural grading, not growing. It lacks the organic matter and nutrients plants need. Once your fill is compacted to grade, cap it with a few inches of topsoil before seeding or planting anything, otherwise you'll get poor, patchy growth.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure the length and width of your low area, multiply for square footage, then divide by 54 for yards needed at that depth. For deeper fill, calculate total cubic footage and divide by 27, adding a bit extra for compaction settling.

Answer

Do I need to compact the fill dirt myself?

Yes, compaction is essential. Place fill in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, using a hand tamper for small areas or a plate compactor for larger ones. Skipping this step leads to uneven settling over time, which is a common and costly mistake.

Answer

Where will the fill dirt be placed when it's delivered?

The truck places the load at one drop spot on your property that you specify at checkout. Make sure there's clear truck access to that area and enough room to maneuver, since moving the material afterward is on you unless you've arranged otherwise.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

It depends on the job. Fill dirt is for raising grade, backfilling, or building a structural base, while topsoil is for the top few inches where things need to grow. Many Pasco projects use both, fill for the bulk of the depth and topsoil as a finishing cap.
