About this fill dirt
Inorganic subsoil for filling holes, raising low ground, and backfill. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix, this is structural material and not a growing medium. Do not use it to level a lawn surface or fill flower beds, put topsoil over it for anything you want to plant. Place it in lifts and compact as you go.

How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you're raising the grade. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there, rounding up rather than down since running short mid job costs you a second delivery.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill dirt jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top once the grade is set, since fill alone won't support grass or plants in that silt loam base. If you're building up a low spot for a shed or patio pad, a compactible base material on top of the fill can help too. Ask about topsoil delivery alongside your fill order if grading and planting come next.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Alexandria's silt loam holds water longer than sandy soil, which means fill placed too deep in one shot traps moisture underneath and keeps settling for months. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor or even foot traffic and a hose to settle it before adding the next. Skipping this step is the most common reason people end up with a sunken patch a year later near foundations or pool decks.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is trying to plant directly into fill dirt thinking it will work like topsoil. It won't support healthy root growth or drainage the way a real growing medium does. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before seeding, sodding, or planting anything, and give it a season to settle first if the area sees regular foot traffic or water.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're filling a large low spot near the river bottom areas of town, order fill and topsoil together in one delivery window instead of two separate trips. It saves on truck trips and lets you grade and cap in the same work session rather than leaving bare fill exposed to rain, which erodes and requires touch up before you cap it.
Grading and Filling in Alexandria
Alexandria sits at just 79 feet elevation with the Red River running through town, so a lot of properties deal with slow drainage and soggy low corners, especially in that silt loam soil that holds water once it's saturated. Fill dirt is the tool for raising those areas, building up before a patio or shed pad, or backfilling around a foundation or pool wall. It's not a growing medium, it's structural, so it gets capped with topsoil once the grade is right. People here also use it to build up yards near the riverfront before storm season so runoff has somewhere to go besides the house.
What Fill Dirt Is
Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. It compacts predictably, which is exactly what you want under slabs, in trenches, and behind walls.
Fill Dirt vs Topsoil
Fill dirt builds the shape of the ground, topsoil grows things on top of it. Bring the grade up with fill, then cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil anywhere grass or plants are going in.
Compact in Lifts
Place fill in layers of 4 to 6 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Dumping the full depth at once leaves voids that settle later, and settling is the one problem fill is supposed to solve.
