Hi, I’ve Recently Dug Foundations For An Outbuilding. I Have A Lot Of Earth And Clay That Has Been Dug Up. Can I Reuse The Clay

Question

to raise the height of my lawn. Or will I have drainage problems? If the above is not possible are there any other ways I can reuse the clay rather than get a skip etc. Thank you
