Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper than screened topsoil because it is not screened for organic matter and is intended for bulk fill and grading. Buy fill dirt when you need to build grade or fill large depressions; finish with a thin layer of topsoil if you plan to seed or plant.

You can use fill dirt to level low spots and raise grades, but it compacts and is not good for planting without topsoil cover. To estimate quantity, use area x depth: one cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth (or 81 sq ft at 4 inches); for example, to add 3 inches to 100 sq ft you need about 1 cubic yard.
