We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fills run 6 to 12 inches, so a 10x10 foot low spot at 6 inches needs roughly 2 cubic yards. For deeper foundation or pool backfill, figure your cubic footage and divide by 27 to get yards, then round up since compaction will eat into your final volume. We sell by the cubic yard, so get your depth right before you order.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where you want it, since fill dirt itself won't support turf or plantings. If you're building up around a pool or foundation, a layer of crushed base rock under the fill can help with drainage before you compact. Pair with topsoil for the final few inches wherever grass or beds need to go back in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Amarillo's sandy loam compacts differently than clay heavy soils further east, it settles faster under load but can also erode at the edges if you leave a fill pile exposed to our spring wind gusts for too long. Work in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next, especially near foundations or pool walls where uneven settling later means real repair costs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see on fill jobs here is skipping compaction between lifts because the dirt looks solid on top. It isn't, it just looks that way until spring rain saturates the loose layers underneath and the whole thing settles unevenly over a season or two. Compact every lift as you go, don't wait until the pile reaches final grade to start tamping.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're building up a large area, mix fill delivery with your topsoil order in the same season so you're not paying for two separate mobilizations. Cap the fill with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil once your grade is set and compacted, that's what actually supports grass seed or sod in our zone 7a climate, the fill underneath is just structural mass.

Grading and Filling in Amarillo

Amarillo sits on sandy loam over caliche in a lot of places, and that combination drains fast but can also settle unevenly once you disturb it for a foundation or pool install. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to rebuild grade before that native soil goes back on top. With the Panhandle's flat terrain and hard spring winds, low areas near driveways and fence lines tend to collect runoff, and raising that ground with compacted fill stops the standing water before it undermines a slab or a patio. This is structural material for the build-up phase, not something you plant into.

What Clean Fill Is

Clean fill is screened subsoil free of debris, roots, and contaminants. It is made for volume and grade, and 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I plant grass directly in fill dirt in Amarillo?

No, fill dirt is subsoil with the topsoil and organic matter screened out, it won't support turf or plants on its own. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil once you've reached final grade and compacted the fill underneath. Planting straight into fill usually means poor germination and plants that struggle even with regular watering.

Answer

How many yards of fill dirt do I need for a low spot in my yard?

Measure the square footage of the low area and your target depth, then use the coverage rate of about 54 square feet per yard at 6 inches. A 12x15 foot spot filled 6 inches deep needs about 3.3 cubic yards, round up to 4 to account for compaction settling once it's tamped down.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before Amarillo's frost hits?

Fill dirt work isn't seasonal the way planting is, but if you're compacting outdoors, get it done before ground freezes solid, which around here is typically after our October 18 first frost. Working the material while it's still workable makes compaction easier and more consistent.

Answer

How much room does your truck need to deliver fill dirt to my property?

Our trucks need a clear path wide enough for a full size dump truck, generally a driveway or access road with no low hanging branches or tight turns. Let us know at checkout if access is limited so we can plan the drop spot, and have your delivery area marked and cleared before the truck arrives.

Answer

What's the difference between fill dirt and topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is subsoil used for structural purposes like raising grade or backfilling foundations, it has no nutrients and won't support plant growth. Topsoil is the nutrient rich layer meant for planting. Use fill dirt to build up the bulk of your grade, then cap with topsoil where you actually need grass or landscaping to grow.
