Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 20 foot low spot at 6 inches runs close to 4 cubic yards. Most jobs use 6 to 12 inches, so double your yardage estimate if you are filling to a foot. Measure your low area in square feet, decide your depth, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing by the truckload.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil on top wherever grass, beds, or plantings are going in, since fill dirt itself will not support root growth. If the area borders a slope, some crushed stone or gravel for drainage at the base keeps water from undermining the new grade later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

On Asheville's sloped lots, fill dirt placed against a grade wants to slump downhill if you dump it and walk away. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard has a dip where the fill used to be.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not topsoil and will not grow grass or plants on its own, it is too dense and lacks organic matter. If the filled area needs any planting, cap it with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil after compaction. People skip this step and then wonder why nothing takes root in what looks like normal dirt.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low spot before building a patio, shed pad, or pool deck, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for only the top layer where something needs to grow. This costs less overall than filling the whole area with topsoil, which compacts poorly anyway and is overkill for structural fill.

Grading and Filling in Asheville

Asheville sits at 2,134 feet with a lot of sloped and terraced lots, and the acidic loam here holds water in low spots more than people expect. Fill dirt is what you bring in to correct that, raising a soggy corner or leveling a pad before you build on it. It is not meant to grow anything on its own, so around the Biltmore area and similar older properties where grading has settled over decades, it is common to see fill dirt go in first and topsoil capped on top. Because this is structural material, it needs to be compacted in lifts, especially on the sloped ground typical of this region.

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 use fill dirt to level my backyard in Asheville?

Yes, fill dirt is exactly what you want for leveling low spots or raising grade before building on it. Just plan on compacting it in 6 to 8 inch lifts rather than dumping it all at once, especially since Asheville's hillside lots tend to shift more if the fill isn't packed properly.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure the square footage of your low area, decide how deep you need to fill it, and scale from there, if you are going 12 inches deep you will need roughly double the yardage of a 6 inch fill.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before winter?

Since fill dirt is project driven rather than seasonal, the better question is timing around Asheville's frost dates. Aim to finish grading and compaction before the ground starts to freeze around mid October, so the fill has time to settle before winter weather sets in.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my property on a sloped lot?

Most standard driveways and access points work fine, but Asheville has plenty of steep or narrow lots where a full size truck can't get close to the drop zone. Let us know about tight access or steep grades ahead of your delivery date so we can plan where the load gets placed.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is for raising grade, backfilling, or building up structural depth, it is subsoil screened of debris and not meant to grow anything. Topsoil goes on top when you need something to plant into. Most jobs in Asheville's acidic loam use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and cap the last few inches with topsoil.
