Fill-dirt can be used as a low-cost subgrade to build up grade, but it is not a good surface material for driveways or drainage areas because it compacts and can rut or wash out. For driveways and drainage you should use compacted base rock or crushed stone with proper drainage; if you do use fill-dirt as a base, plan on compaction and a drainage layer on top.
