Fill-dirt is intended to raise grade, fill low spots, or backfill foundations — it is not a wear surface for driveways. For driveways or walkable surfaces you should use base rock or crushed gravel over compacted fill-dirt; using gravel on top provides drainage and a stable driving surface while fill-dirt provides volume to set the grade.
