Before You Order
Details worth
getting right.
Ignoring drainage when adding fill
Plan where water will go. Adding fill in one area can redirect water to another.
Not compacting in lifts
Compact fill in 6-8 inch layers. Dumping and compacting all at once leads to settling.
Choosing the wrong dirt type for your soil
Consider existing soil conditions. Clay on sand (or vice versa) creates drainage issues.
