Unscreened fill dirt is the workhorse that builds grade, fills voids, and stands behind walls. Nobody sees it; everything sits on it. The cheapest yardage the yard sells.
The jobs this material shows up on every week — straight from the crew that loads it.
Builds up low yards, building pads and road shoulders by the truckload.
Fills foundations, pools and trenches — compacted in lifts as you go.
The mass that stands behind retaining walls while the pretty stone faces out.
Old cisterns, tree holes, abandoned utilities — dirt is the answer.
Pick your depth, read what one yard covers, and order by the math — the same math the loader runs.
| Depth | 1 Yard Covers | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 6 in | 54 ft2 | Yard & lawn build-up |
| 12 in | 27 ft2 | Standard backfill lifts |
| 18 in | 18 ft2 | Behind retaining walls |
| 24 in | 13 ft2 | Deep void fill |
Coverage = 27 ft3 at depth. Compacted fill loses height — order 10–15% extra when building grade.
