Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers roughly 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Typical install depth runs 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you need to make up, so a low spot needing a foot of fill will run through material faster than you might expect. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and size the order from there rather than guessing.

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 finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, especially if grass, beds, or sod are going in on top. If you are backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, a layer of gravel underneath for drainage is worth considering given how slow Clarksville's clay drains on its own. Mulch or compost come later, once the structural work underneath is settled and done.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never dump fill dirt in one deep pour and call it done. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Clarksville's clay-heavy ground already holds water and shifts seasonally, and an uncompacted fill layer on top of that will keep settling for a year or more, cracking any patio, walkway, or slab poured over it too soon.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people trying to grow grass or plants directly in fill dirt. It is subsoil, stripped of the organic matter that plants need, so it will not hold a lawn no matter how much you water it. Always cap finished, compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or sodding, otherwise you are fighting bare, compacted dirt indefinitely.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt costs less per yard than topsoil because it skips screening for organic content, so use it for the bulk of any deep fill and save topsoil for just the finish layer. On a foundation backfill or a pool area needing two feet of buildup, that split can mean ordering mostly fill dirt with only a few yards of topsoil on top, rather than paying for topsoil depth you do not need.

Grading and Filling in Clarksville

Clarksville sits on predominantly clay soil, which drains slowly and shifts as it wets and dries, so a lot of local grading jobs are really about correcting years of settling and standing water. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to work from before that clay causes more trouble, whether you are leveling ground near Fort Campbell housing additions or backfilling a pool at a newer build. With frost typically arriving by late October and clearing by early April, most fill projects here happen through the warmer months when the ground is workable and compaction actually holds. This is structural material, not soil for planting, so plan on topsoil over it wherever grass or beds are going in.

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

What exactly is fill dirt made of, and is it clean?

Our fill dirt is subsoil pulled from local excavation sites and screened to remove rocks, roots, and construction debris. It is not topsoil and has little to no organic content, which is exactly what you want for structural backfill or raising grade, since organic material breaks down and causes settling over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to raise a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so measure the square footage of the low area and divide by 54 for each 6 inches of depth you need. A 200 square foot spot needing 8 inches of fill would run close to 5 cubic yards, plus a bit extra for compaction settling.

Answer

When is the best time to do fill dirt work in Clarksville?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen or saturated works, but most people here schedule fill projects between April and October, after the last frost and before the first one in late October. Working clay soil while it's too wet makes compaction unreliable, so a dry stretch gives you a better base.

Answer

Can your truck get to my backyard or does it have to stay in the driveway?

Full size delivery trucks need a clear path with enough width and overhead clearance, so most loads get placed in the driveway or as close to the work site as access allows. If your project is in a tight backyard, let us know the access details at checkout so we can plan the best drop point.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

If you are raising grade, backfilling a foundation, or building up a base before other work, fill dirt is the right call and costs less than topsoil for the same volume. Topsoil comes in only as the top few inches where grass, beds, or plants actually need to grow, since fill dirt alone won't support them.
