Generalizations like that typically don't make sense, and yours is no exception. I built my house on a hillside and had to backfill against a six foot high retaining wall with hundreds of cubic yards of dirt that dirt that I excavated from the same undisturbed hillside. I compacted the soil against the retaining wall in lifts of a few inches at a time using a 20 inch wide motorized plate compactor, with a sledge hammer to compact in the tight spots. I estimate that the material I compacted was at least 30% more densely compacted that any of the soil I dug out for backfill (rocks excluded).

You'll never get the soil back to natural compaction.
