Fill dirt is structural material for raising and backfilling — it compacts and holds. Topsoil is organic growing medium for lawns and beds — it does not compact and should never be used as structural fill. Using topsoil to raise ground is why so many raised areas settle.
We supply and deliver both, plus gravel, crush run, sand, mulch and decorative stone across metro Atlanta, and spread it with the loader while we are there.
Do you need this?
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service:
- A low area of the yard needs raising
- A pool, trench or excavation needs backfilling
- The lawn needs topsoil before seed or sod
- Beds need mulch or decorative stone
- A pad or driveway needs crush run
How the job runs
- 1
Match material to purpose
We ask what it is for before quoting. Structural fill, growing medium and drainage stone are different products and mixing them up causes problems later.
- 2
Calculate quantity
Worked out from area and depth so you buy what you need.
- 3
Deliver and place
Tipped where the truck can reach, shuttled with the loader where it cannot.
- 4
Spread and compact
Spread to level. Structural fill compacted in lifts; topsoil left loose so it does not choke root growth.
What affects your price
Material cost plus delivery. Spreading with the loader is normally included when we are delivering. Quantity, material type and haul distance drive the price.
We quote after seeing the site, and the price we give you is fixed and in writing. Estimates are free and there is no obligation.

Georgia red clay makes poor topsoil — it is dense, holds water and roots struggle in it. If you are establishing a lawn here, bringing in screened topsoil over the clay is usually the difference between grass that takes and grass that sulks for two years.
