Back Fill Calculator

Backfill is used to replace soil or dirt that was excavated from the ground. This can include a garden site for raised beds or material to place behind a retaining wall. Typically when calculating backfill, the material will not include any large rocks or forms of vegetation. Most importantly, backfill should never include any wood debris as this material will decay and cause underground voids. The voids can eventually collapse and create a depression in the middle of the fill area. Backfill is generally calculated in the form of volume in cubic feet or cubic yards.

Backfill is usually sold by the cubic foot or cubic yard
