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.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs here call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you are raising the grade. If you are filling around a foundation or leveling a low spot before a pool deck, measure the square footage and the depth you need, then order in cubic yards since that is how we sell it. For deeper fills, plan on doing it in stages rather than one thick dump.

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.

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 jobs around Bullhead City end with a topsoil cap once the grade is set, since fill dirt is not meant to grow anything directly. If you are building up a planting bed on top, a few yards of topsoil layered over the compacted fill gets you there. Gravel or decomposed granite on top works well too if the area is headed toward a walkway or drainage path instead of landscaping.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Bullhead City's native soil is sandy loam, straight fill dirt piled loose will settle unevenly once it gets wet from irrigation or a rare desert downpour. Place it in lifts no thicker than 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch by a foundation or pool deck a year later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake here is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, so anything planted straight into it usually struggles in our heat. Always finish your grade with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil on top if the area needs grass, shrubs, or a garden bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project is a big elevation change, like leveling a sloped lot near the river bluff, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil for just the top layer where roots actually sit. This keeps your cost per yard lower since fill dirt is a simpler, cheaper material to produce than screened topsoil, and it does the structural work just as well.

Grading and Filling in Bullhead City

Bullhead City sits at 925 feet with sandy loam soil that drains fast but does not hold shape well when you pile it up loose. That is exactly why fill dirt has to be compacted in lifts here, the local sand mixed into the subsoil will settle and shift for years if you just dump it and walk away. A lot of the fill work in this city is backyard pool decks, foundation backfill after the desert heat cracks a slab base, or leveling a lot before landscaping starts. Because it is a structural material and not something plants grow in, cap it with topsoil once your grade is set.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to level my backyard before landscaping?

Yes, that is one of its main uses. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one as you build up the grade, then cap the top few inches with topsoil before planting anything. Skipping compaction is what leads to sinking spots later.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to raise a 500 square foot area by 6 inches?

At 54 square feet of coverage per cubic yard at 6 inches, 500 square feet needs a little over 9 cubic yards. Round up slightly to account for compaction, since the material settles once you tamp it down.

Answer

When is the best time to do fill work in Bullhead City?

Fill dirt work is driven by your project timeline, not the season, so it can go in year round. That said, working in the cooler months makes compaction easier on you physically, since summer temperatures here get intense for anyone hand tamping outdoors.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the load?

The driver places the material as close to your work area as truck access allows, based on where you direct them on delivery day. Make sure the path is clear and there is enough room for the truck to maneuver, especially on narrower residential lots.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is for structural work, raising grade, backfilling foundations, or building a base before you plant anything. Topsoil is for the top few inches where grass or plants actually grow. Most projects use fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and a thinner topsoil layer on top.
