One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most fill jobs here run 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the ground is. Measure the length and width of the area you're raising, decide your depth, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing at bags, since a single pool backfill or low yard corner can easily run several yards.

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.

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

Fill dirt does the structural work, but most projects need a cap of topsoil on top if grass, beds, or anything else needs to grow there. If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation in Texarkana's sandy loam, a layer of compactable base underneath in wet spots can help too. We can deliver both in the same trip if you're stacking materials.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't dump fill dirt in one deep pour and walk away. In Texarkana's sandy loam, uncompacted fill keeps settling for months, sometimes years, and you'll end up with a sunken patch right where you filled it. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts, compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next, and the ground will actually stay where you put it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. It's subsoil, screened of debris but not amended for growing, so grass and beds struggle or fail outright. Cap any area that needs vegetation with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil once your fill is compacted and graded to final height.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil or a compactable base for the top few inches where it actually matters. Mixing materials this way in one delivery, rather than buying all topsoil, keeps the job efficient without sacrificing the finish where you'll see or plant it.

Grading and Filling in Texarkana

Texarkana sits on sandy loam that drains fast but doesn't hold shape well when it's disturbed, which is exactly when fill dirt gets called in, after a pool install, a foundation repair, or a low corner of the yard that ponds every time it rains off the Sulphur River watershed. At 299 feet elevation there's not much natural grade to work with, so a lot of local jobs are about building up ground rather than cutting it down. This fill is subsoil, not topsoil, so it's meant to do structural work under something else, not grow anything on its own.

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?

No, they're different products. Fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, meant for raising grade and backfilling, structural work basically. Topsoil has organic matter and is meant for growing. If you need grass or plants on top, cap your fill with topsoil once it's compacted.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to backfill around my pool?

It depends on the gap width and depth, but a typical pool backfill runs anywhere from 3 to 10 cubic yards. Measure the perimeter gap width, multiply by the depth you're filling, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, and round up since compaction will use more than the loose volume suggests.

Answer

When should I compact fill dirt after delivery?

Compact each lift as you place it, don't wait until the whole pile is spread out. Work in 6 to 8 inch layers and tamp each one before adding more. Texarkana's clay-heavy sandy loam pockets can hold moisture, so avoid compacting right after heavy rain when the material is too wet to pack properly.

Answer

Where will the truck put the fill dirt on delivery day?

We place it as close to your work area as your driveway or yard access allows, based on the notes you give us at checkout. Make sure there's a clear path wide enough for a delivery truck and mark exactly where you want the pile dropped.

Answer

Can I use fill dirt instead of topsoil for my whole project?

Not if anything needs to grow there. Fill dirt is subsoil built for raising grade and structural backfill, it doesn't have the organic content plants need. Use fill for the bulk of the depth and finish with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil on top wherever grass or beds are going in.
