Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to level yards as long as you use clean, non-organic fill and place it in thin lifts with compaction between layers. In West North Carolina soils you should also consider drainage and slope—add topsoil on the final surface if you plan to seed or plant.

You can put gravel over compacted dirt, but for a lasting result you should remove sod and organic topsoil, compact the subgrade, and consider a geotextile fabric or a compacted fill-dirt base first. For driveways or high-traffic areas in Dublin's climate, a prepared, compacted base reduces rutting and washout.

Truck capacity varies by hauler and truck type, but many local tri-axle trucks carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards per load, which commonly translates to roughly 10 to 16 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction.
