How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
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 here run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you need to make up. Measure the low area's square footage and the depth you need, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags, since a pallet of bagged dirt won't touch most backfill or grading jobs.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs around here finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where you want it, especially if grass or beds are going in on top. If you're backfilling around a new pool or foundation wall, a layer of road base or gravel underneath can help with drainage before the fill goes in. We deliver those separately so you can build the profile in the right order.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In St. George's sandy loam, fill dirt compacts differently than it would in heavier clay soils elsewhere, it tends to settle fast under moisture but can stay loose if it dries out before you compact it. Water each 6 to 8 inch lift lightly before running a plate compactor over it, especially in summer heat when the surface dries within an hour of placement. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see dips forming a year later near pools and foundations.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see locally is people spreading fill dirt in one deep lift and calling it done, especially around pool decks and patio pads. Uncompacted fill can keep settling for two or three years, showing up as cracks in concrete poured too soon on top. Give yourself time between lifts, or plan your pour for after a full season if the fill is deep, rather than rushing the schedule.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project needs both grading and something to grow in, order fill dirt for the structural base and a separate topsoil delivery for the top 4 to 6 inches. This costs less overall than filling the entire depth with topsoil, since topsoil is a finer, richer product that does nothing extra for you buried a foot underground where roots won't reach it anyway.
Grading and Filling in St. George
St. George sits on sandy loam over harder caliche and rock layers in places, and a lot of yards have low spots or uneven grade left over from grading around Snow Canyon and the surrounding bench areas. Fill dirt is what people use to correct that before they pour a slab, set a pool, or bring in topsoil for planting beds. Because the native soil here drains fast but compacts unevenly, unmanaged fill can settle over a season or two if it is not placed right. This is a structural material for solving grade problems, not something you plant straight into.
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.
