How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a typical low spot or backfill zone of 200 to 300 square feet usually runs 4 to 6 yards depending on how deep it needs to go. Measure the area and the depth of the void separately, since fill jobs are rarely a uniform depth across the whole footprint. Order by the cubic yard and round up rather than short yourself on a compaction job.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, especially if grass or landscaping is going in over the top. If the area holds water in Steubenville's clay-leaning subsoil, a base layer of crushed stone under the fill can help with drainage before you build up. Mulch or bark comes later, once the growing layer is in place.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not a growing medium and it will not hold structure if you dump it all at once. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this step and you'll be watching that spot near your foundation or pool deck sink lower every spring as it settles under its own weight and rain.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see on Steubenville jobs is capping fill with sod or seed directly, with no topsoil layer between. Fill dirt compacts too tight for roots to establish, so plan on 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil over your final compacted lift wherever anything needs to grow. Skipping that layer means patchy grass and a lot of reseeding.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're backfilling around a foundation or retaining wall, pair fill dirt with a few yards of crushed stone at the base for drainage, especially given the silt loam and clay tendencies in this area that hold water. It costs less to get drainage right at the start than to fix a soggy backfill zone two years later after it settles and pools.
Grading and Filling in Steubenville
Steubenville sits on silt loam over hilly terrain, and that combination means water finds the low spots fast, especially on the sloped lots common around the older neighborhoods near Fort Steuben. Fill dirt is what you bring in to correct that grade before you ever think about topsoil or turf. It's also the standard choice for backfilling foundation excavations on the area's older housing stock, where crawlspaces and basement walls need solid support against settling. This is a structural material, not something you plant 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.
