What Is the Difference Between Fill Dirt and Topsoil?
This is the one people get wrong most, and it is expensive when they do. Fill dirt is structural subsoil with little or no organic matter. It is used to fill voids, pool removals, stump holes, and low spots near the foundation, because it packs and holds its shape. Topsoil is the fertile upper layer where grass and plants actually grow. Put fill dirt under sod and the lawn dies. Use topsoil to fill a deep void and it settles on you. Different materials, different jobs, different prices.
How Much Topsoil Do I Need?
For a new lawn the standard is 4 to 6 inches of topsoil. For 1,000 square feet at 4 inches deep, that is roughly 12 cubic yards. If the area has no existing topsoil at all, go toward the higher end. Tell us the square footage and what you are trying to grow and we will help you land on the number.
When Do You Need Fill Dirt?
When you are filling something rather than growing something. A stump hole after a grind, a low spot that puddles every spring, a void left where a pool came out, or ground near the foundation that has settled. Fill dirt goes in first and compacts, then topsoil goes on top if you want grass over it. That layering is what keeps the finished grade from sinking six months later.
Our Topsoil and Fill Dirt Process
We confirm the material during the estimate call, because guessing here costs real money. The truck drops at your staging point, and for larger jobs we can spread and grade in the same visit rather than leaving you a pile. Delivery covers Stark, Summit, and Medina County, with service into Wayne and the surrounding counties.
