One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a small low spot or backfill trench might only need a yard or two while a pool deck rebuild or foundation grade change can run into double digits. Measure the area you are raising and the depth you need, then work backward from the 54 square foot figure per yard at 6 inches. Fill is sold and delivered by the cubic yard, so round up rather than run short mid job.

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 cap of topsoil once the grading and compaction are done, since fill alone will not support grass or plantings. If the project involves a pool deck or paved area, a base layer of crushed stone or road base under the fill can add stability in San Angelo's clay soil. Either pairs easily with a fill delivery scheduled the same week.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Place fill in lifts no deeper than 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people call back a year later asking why their yard sank near the foundation. In San Angelo's clay loam, uncompacted fill holds moisture unevenly and settles at different rates across a filled area, which is what causes those dips and low spots you see near older additions and pool decks.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not plant directly into fill dirt and expect anything to grow well. It is subsoil, stripped of the organic matter and structure that topsoil has, so cap your finished grade with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or landscaping. A lot of settling complaints are really drainage or planting complaints from someone who skipped the topsoil cap and tried to grow grass straight into raw fill.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low area, consider whether the whole depth needs to be fill dirt or if a cheaper base course could handle the bottom lifts with fill finishing the top few inches. Fort Concho area properties with older drainage issues often need more volume than expected, so measure twice and order in one delivery rather than two, since a single larger load is more efficient than repeat trips.

Grading and Filling in San Angelo

San Angelo sits on clay loam that already drains slow and holds water after the rare heavy rain, so low areas around foundations and pool decks tend to stay soft or pond. Fill dirt raises that grade above the surrounding clay so water sheds away from structures instead of sitting against them. Because native soil here shifts with wet and dry cycles, fill needs to be compacted in lifts, not just dumped and left, or you get the same settling problem a year later. This is a structural material for grading and backfill, not something to plant into straight away.

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 San Angelo yard?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil meant for raising grade and backfilling, it has no nutrients or organic matter for growing anything. Topsoil goes on top of finished, compacted fill when you actually want grass or plants. If your project ends in landscaping, plan on both, fill to build up and topsoil to cap it.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a low spot by my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure the length and width of the area, multiply for square footage, then divide by 54 to get yards needed for a 6 inch fill. Go deeper and you will need proportionally more, a 12 inch depth roughly doubles the yardage.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself after delivery?

Yes, compaction is your responsibility after drop off. Spread it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding more. Skipping this step in San Angelo's clay soil almost guarantees uneven settling within the first year or two.

Answer

Where will the fill dirt be placed on delivery day?

The truck drops the full load in one spot, typically your driveway or the closest accessible area to your project. Make sure there is clear room for a large truck to maneuver and back in, and have a plan to move the dirt from the drop point to its final location with a wheelbarrow, tractor, or similar.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or road base for my pool deck project?

It depends on what the fill is doing. Fill dirt works for raising grade and general backfill, but if you need a stable base directly under pavers or concrete, road base or crushed stone compacts tighter and drains better. Many pool deck jobs in San Angelo use fill to raise the overall grade first, then a road base layer on top for the actual structural base.
