Using fill dirt or topsoil to raise grade

I am not sure if I worded my question correctly. During excavation, we couldn't go as deep as we would have liked due to ground water. So now we are worried that the front and back porches will be higher than we had hoped. In the back, we will have a ramp coming up to the porch. It won't be ADA, but we would like to make it as comfortable as we can given the space we have. I haven't asked my builder yet but thought I'd post to get some feedback on here. Can we bring in soil to raise the height of the yard so it's closer to the porch level? Is 1 or maybe even 2 feet realistic? If so, will it cost a fortune to do?
