Anyone ever fill in uneven yard?

A mixture of soil and sand makes good fill as does just sand. The sand will filter down into the soil as time goes on leaving the soil on top.

 

Clay will not do what sand does. It will pack and may become slick when it rains and will hard to dig in later.

 

At least that has been my experience

For the deeper areas (6-8 inches), I would use fill dirt/clay as a fill in, but what I would also do is use some gypsum over the top, which will break down the clay down. Other thing you can use is fine lawn clippings to assist with the breakdown of the poor soil, as this will too break the clay down.

 

Then for the top 2-3 inches, I would use topsoil/maybe with a slight mix of sand (3:1 or 4:1). Once you have laid some turf (or seeded it with grass seeds) you can use sand to even up slight ditches in the lawn.

 

But this is not knowing exactly what the conditions of your soil is, as you do live in a another part of the globe.
