Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is not screened or amended for planting. Fill dirt is good for raising grade or filling low spots, while topsoil is better for lawns and gardens; choose based on whether you need structural fill (fill dirt) or a plant-ready surface (topsoil).

For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 4 inches deep, you need about 12.3 cubic yards of material (1000 sq ft x 0.333 ft depth = 333 cu ft = 12.3 yd3). Using the estimated Kenansville delivery range ($15-$45/yd3), that equates to roughly $185 to $555 delivered, or about 16 to 19 tons depending on moisture and soil type; this is an estimate—get a quote for exact pricing and hauling details.

No, 2 inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway base. Driveways typically need several inches of compacted aggregate (often 4 to 8 inches for a stable base) and proper drainage; fill dirt is used for grading or to build up low spots but is not an appropriate finished surface.

Yes, fill dirt can be used to raise or level a backyard, but you should place it in layers and compact it to reduce future settling, and avoid using fill dirt as the final planting surface where topsoil is needed. Permitting and lot-grading rules vary by county and neighborhood, so check local building or zoning offices before major fills and consider professional compaction guidance for large volumes.

For 20 cubic yards, using the Kenansville estimate of $15 to $45 per cubic yard, expect roughly $300 to $900 delivered before site fees or extra services. Ordering a single cubic yard often isn’t practical because Hello Gravel’s minimum order is about 3 tons and most suppliers charge a delivery minimum; contact Hello Gravel for a precise minimum and local quote.
