Should I use #1 or #2 fill dirt?
Use #2 fill to build ground up and #1 fill to finish it. #2 fill is unscreened, can carry small rock or shell, and costs less. It packs hard, so it is the one for pads, deep low areas and raising a yard.
#1 fill is clean, screened sandy soil. It goes on top, anywhere grass will grow. For a shallow dip, #1 fill alone is enough. For a deep one, build with #2 fill, then cap it with #1 fill.
Do I need topsoil on top of fill dirt?
For grass or plants, yes, put a few inches of topsoil or #1 fill on top. Fill dirt is sandy and does not hold much. Sod and seed root better in the cap layer. A pad or driveway base does not need it.
How long does it take to settle? Ballpark, most of it settles in the first few weeks and a few good rains. Deep fills keep sinking a little longer. We add about 15 percent for packing, and it is smart to wait before laying sod on a deep fill. A thin top-up later is normal.
Delivered only, or spread and graded?
Either one. Spreading uses our Bobcat with an operator.
Delivered only
We dump the loads where you want them. You spread it.
Delivered and spread
We deliver it, then the Bobcat spreads and grades it so the ground is finished.
Either way you get one price for the job. Delivered and spread, that price covers the dirt, the delivery and our Bobcat spreading it. A small job takes about a morning. A big fill is a day or more.

What does a truckload of fill dirt cost?
Ballpark, a truckload of #2 fill is about $325–$395 and a load of #1 fill is about $355–$430, delivered. That works out to $20–$25 and $21–$25 a cubic yard. These are estimates, not firm prices. A typical delivered-only job of one #2 fill truckload runs about $325 to $400. Text us photos and we confirm the price within 24 hours.
What is the difference between #1 and #2 fill dirt?
#1 fill is clean, screened sandy soil with no roots or rocks. Use it for the top layer and low spots under grass. #2 fill is unscreened and costs less. Use it to build ground up in volume, like pads and deep low areas, then cap it with #1 fill or topsoil.
What should I use to fill low spots in my yard?
For a dip a few inches deep, use #1 fill and spread it in thin layers so grass can grow through. For anything deeper than about a foot, build it up with #2 fill first, then finish with #1 fill or topsoil on top. Fill the low spot, and make sure water has somewhere to go, or it will find the low spot again.
Can grass grow on fill dirt?
Not well on its own. Fill dirt is sandy and holds little. A few inches of topsoil or #1 fill on top gives sod or seed something to root in. For a pad or a driveway base you do not need topsoil.
How long does fill dirt take to settle?
Ballpark, expect most of the settling in the first few weeks and a few good rains. Deep fills keep sinking a little longer. We order extra for packing, and it helps to wait for the dirt to settle before laying sod. If it sinks after the first season, a thin top-up fixes it.
Do you spread it, or do I?
Either one. Delivered only means we dump the loads where you want them. Delivered and spread means the Bobcat spreads and grades it. Either way you get one price for the job, and we confirm it within 24 hours. Text us photos of the area.
How do I figure how many yards of fill to order?
Multiply length by width in feet, then by the depth in feet, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Add about 15 percent for packing. A truckload carries around 16 to 17 yards. The estimator on this page does the math for you.
