About This Material
Fill dirt is subsoil scraped from below the topsoil layer. It's low in organics — which is exactly what you want under a slab or building pad, because organics decay and cause settlement over time. Great for raising a yard, closing an old pool, or leveling a low spot before laying sod.
Delivered by the yard. Availability shifts with local excavation projects — call for large orders.
Why Choose Fill Dirt?
Choose fill dirt when the goal is elevation or volume — raising grade, closing voids, or backfilling — without the settlement risk that comes with organic soil.
Advantages
- Low organics — resists settlement
- Compacts well under moisture control
- Economical by the yard
- Great for building pads and berms
Considerations
- Not for planting — no nutrients
- Color and clay content vary by pit
- Drains slowly compared to sand
- Availability depends on local jobs
