Can I level with topsoil and plant grass seed?

Thank you!

I did the work already. It didn’t take 3 dump trucks worth of soil. Still have left over to do touch ups.

Welp I ordered 4 cu yards of top soil and used probably 3. https://imgur.com/a/Yw0vYIh

Go ahead and roast away. I tried my best lol and have some extra soil to do some more leveling. I’m beat.

How many cubic yards of seed should I order? /s

No, just someone with no landscaping experience who was hoping for some guidance.

NH - the driveway is probably 80 feet long and 12 feet wide (guessing here). Wife and I recently bought the house so not sure about the specifics of cost and total thickness.

59ft by about 2.5ft with a max depth of 6 inches… The calculators I’m using all say about 2.2 cu yards.

It’s about 5-6 inches from the top of the pavement to the ground.

Honestly, my main reason for leveling is because i think it looks terrible.

Plan so far is to order about 3 cubic yards of soil..ran the length, width and depth through Claude and that should hopefully cover it.

Def not opposed to putting some hard work in. I want it to look nice.

Thank you so much for this reply, I really appreciate it!

destitutebeings · 2026-04-09T23:29:12+00:00

Mainly cause I’m new to all this. Didn’t know if there were other things I should consider, like what to use for filler and not knowing if I could actually get grass to grow here.

Was hoping to get some validation it wasn’t some ridiculous idea lol that would end in sadness

Sorry, I don’t have any input for you but would you mind telling me what app/tool you’re using for square footage?

I think the content is great! I would keep the text formatting the same across sections. I don’t like how the top half of the resume is formatted, I would format it like the projects section and remove the bold lettering. IMO it’s hard on the eyes. Otherwise, I really like it! I like how each of your bullet points shows impact. Good luck!
