Select fill is a type of soil that is carefully screened and sorted to meet specific criteria for certain projects. Select fill typically has a small particle size, low silt and clay content, and a consistent composition, hence the high price point per load. This type of soil is commonly used in construction projects such as roadways, foundations, and other large-scale projects. It is also used in residential projects such as landscaping and gardening.

Common fill is a type of soil that is not screened or sorted for specific criteria. Common fill typically contains larger particles, higher silt and clay content, and a more varied composition. This type of soil is commonly used in construction projects such as fill for embankments, backfilling, and other large-scale projects. It is also used in residential projects such as landscaping and gardening. 

Top soil is a type of soil that contains desirable organic matter that can help to improve the fertility of the soil. Top soil is typically screened and sorted for specific criteria and is composed of smaller particles with higher silt and clay content. This type of soil is commonly used in landscaping projects, gardening projects, and in residential projects such as lawn care. 

In general, select fill is used in large-scale commercial projects while common fill and top soil are used in both commercial and residential projects. Select fill is also used in residential projects, but not as often as common fill and top soil.
