First, decide how the area will be used: Load Bearing (vehicles driving on or parking on), Texture (soft/smooth for walking barefoot or playing yard games), Color (fill dirt can be had in different colors/shades), Intended uses (planting, seeding for grass, landscaping). Dirt is a generic term that means little. Top soil is for planting, seeding, growing things. Screened dirt is your local 'dirt' screened of larger rocks and larger clumps of clay. An A/B mix will compact hard and retain its density under monsoon conditions (is also called road bed. Many dirt roads are constructed of this mix and last for decades). This is perfect if you are making a driveway or a bedding for a swimming pool, porch (load bearing). There is much else to consider. How much are you filling in (depth of material), are you going to compact it, will there be different uses in the same section(s) of 'fill'? Seeking advice from your local landscapers, or gravel pits (they can explain the proper uses for the different materials they make and sell) is the best offer. Getting the proper material can be expensive but, worth every penny. The wrong material used and/or removed will be much more expensive and possibly disastrous .

It is important because your gutters get filled up with leaves and dirt. This could cause your gutters to not work right. If they get clogged they can come off because they fill up with leaves and dirt.
