One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 20 foot low spot needs roughly 4 cubic yards at that depth, more if you are going deeper toward the 12 inch end of a typical install. Measure the full area you are raising, decide your target depth, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing at bags, since fill jobs at any real size are bulk jobs.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Most fill jobs around Chambersburg finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If you are backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, having some crushed stone on hand for drainage at the base is worth planning before the fill goes in, not after.
Service area
Place fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially on Chambersburg's clay loam, which does not drain fast and will trap water between loose layers if you dump it all at once. Skipping the lift and compact step is the single biggest reason people see sinking or cracking a year or two later around a foundation or pool deck.
A common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant into it right away. It has no organic structure for root growth, so cap the finished grade with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil once your fill is compacted to the level you want, then plant into that layer instead.
Fill dirt is priced and hauled differently than topsoil because it is heavier and less processed, roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so ordering the right volume upfront saves a repeat delivery fee. If your project also needs topsoil on top or stone underneath for drainage, plan all three quantities together before your first delivery instead of guessing as you go.
Chambersburg sits on clay loam at 617 feet, soil that already compacts unevenly and holds moisture longer than sandy ground. When you are raising a low spot near a foundation or filling around a new pool, that native clay loam means the fill has to be placed and compacted in real lifts or the whole area will keep settling for a couple years. A lot of the fill work we deliver for around here is foundation backfill and site regrading ahead of a build, since the Cumberland Valley has plenty of older homes with drainage issues from decades of settling. This is not a seasonal material, it moves whenever a project calls for it.
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 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.
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.
