How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on what you're leveling or backfilling. Measure the low area or void in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there, rounding up rather than down since running short mid job means a second delivery.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grading is done, especially if lawn or planting beds are going back in over it. If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation in Sandusky's silt loam, having gravel on hand for drainage at the base of the fill can save you problems later. We can deliver both in the same trip if you're planning ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Don't dump fill dirt in one thick pour if you're filling more than a foot. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken spot in the yard a year later, especially in silt loam soils like Sandusky's that hold moisture and shift as they dry out unevenly.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not something you want sitting exposed through a wet stretch before you compact it. Silt loam turns soupy fast when it's saturated, and wet fill compacts poorly and unevenly. If rain is coming, either get it compacted the same day or cover the pile, because working it too wet just locks in problems you'll be digging out later.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project needs both structural fill and a growing layer on top, order the fill dirt and topsoil together rather than in separate trips. It saves a delivery fee and lets you sequence the job properly, fill and compact first, then cap with topsoil right before seeding or planting, instead of leaving bare fill exposed for weeks in between.
Grading and Filling in Sandusky
Sandusky sits on silt loam that holds water and settles unevenly once it's disturbed, which is exactly why raw fill dirt needs to go down in compacted lifts instead of just dumped and graded. With a last frost around April 25 and first frost around October 30, most fill projects here happen in that window when the ground isn't frozen or saturated. This isn't a growing medium, it's structural, so anything you plant or seed later needs a topsoil cap over it. That matters more here than in sandier soils, because silt loam that's been loosened and refilled without compaction keeps sinking for a season or two.
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.
