You will either get dirt left over or not enough dirt to recover the
hole.

Well yesterday I had plenty left over. I am glad of that.

When I dig, I always have just enough dirt (heaped up) to fill it back
in and it will be almost level when it sinks. But then I use tarps to
pile the spill on - no loss of dirt and it is a _lot_ easier to
backfill from a tarp than from a pile on grass.
