How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most grading or backfill jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area sits. Measure the length and width of the area you are raising, decide how many inches you need to bring it up, and that gives you the volume. For anything over a few cubic yards, bulk delivery is far more practical than trying to move it yourself.

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 dirt jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where you want it, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If the final area is going to be lawn or planting beds, plan on a topsoil layer on top and possibly mulch for beds along the edges. Compaction equipment, even a hand tamper for smaller jobs, is worth having on site as you build up each lift.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, especially with Westfield's silt loam base which already holds moisture and settles unevenly if it is not packed down. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch two years later where a pool deck or shed pad used to be level.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is treating fill dirt like it will grow grass on its own. It will not, it is subsoil, not a growing medium. Once you have your grade built up and compacted, cap the top few inches with real topsoil before seeding or sodding. Skipping the topsoil cap is why some backfilled areas around new Westfield builds stay patchy for a season or two.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool, order slightly more than your calculated volume since compaction eats into your total height more than people expect. It is cheaper to have a small extra pile than to schedule a second delivery for the last inch or two of grade. Combining a fill dirt order with topsoil in the same delivery window also saves you a separate trip if your project needs both.
Grading and Filling in Westfield
Westfield sits at 902 feet with predominantly silt loam soil, which drains slower than sand and holds water longer after a heavy spring rain. That means a lot of new construction lots and older properties near the Grand Park corridor end up with low areas that pond instead of shedding water. Fill dirt is how you fix that grade problem before it becomes a foundation problem. Because it is a structural material and not topsoil, it also gets used heavily for backfill around new pool installs and foundation walls where the native silt loam was dug out during construction.
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.
