One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area sits. Measure the square footage of the area you are filling, decide how many inches you need to bring it up, and that gives you the yardage. For anything deeper than 8 inches, plan to place it in lifts rather than one pour.

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 dirt jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil capped on top wherever grass, plants, or landscaping needs to grow, since fill dirt itself has no nutrients for root growth. If you are backfilling around a pool or patio, a layer of sand or road base under pavers on top of the compacted fill helps lock everything in place. Mulch or sod usually comes last, once the grade is set and stable.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is structural, not a growing medium, so never spread it more than 6 to 8 inches at a time without compacting each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper. Skip this step and you will watch the grade sink unevenly over the next couple of rainy seasons as it settles under its own weight, especially in Coconut Creek's sandy, moisture-heavy ground where uncompacted fill shifts fast.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is filling all the way to finish grade with dirt alone, expecting grass to grow right into it. Fill dirt has no organic content, so cap it with 2 to 4 inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding, otherwise you will get thin, patchy growth no matter how much water or fertilizer goes down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more fill than your calculated volume, since compaction typically reduces loose fill by 10 to 15 percent once it is tamped down. It is cheaper to have a little extra on site than to schedule a second small delivery for the last few inches of a job.

Grading and Filling in Coconut Creek

Coconut Creek's sandy soil drains fast but sits at low elevation, so a lot of yards and pool decks end up with soggy low spots that never really dry out. Fill dirt is what raises that grade back up, whether you are leveling ground before a paver patio, backfilling around a new pool shell, or building up a section before topsoil goes on top. Because it compacts into a stable base rather than staying loose like topsoil, it is the right call anywhere you need the ground to hold its shape for years, not just look good for a season. This is not a lawn product, it is the structural layer underneath one.

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

How deep should fill dirt go around my pool or foundation?

Most backfill jobs run 6 to 12 inches per lift, compacted before adding more. Going deeper than that in a single pour without compacting leads to settling and cracking later, especially in loose sandy ground like Coconut Creek has, so plan on multiple compacted layers rather than one thick fill.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to raise a 300 square foot low spot by 8 inches?

At 6 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so for 8 inches you are covering roughly 40 square feet per yard. For 300 square feet at 8 inches, that comes out to about 7.5 cubic yards, and it is worth rounding up to account for compaction.

Answer

Can I place fill dirt any time of year here?

Yes, fill dirt is a job driven material, not a seasonal one, so it goes in whenever your project calls for it. That said, Coconut Creek's dry season from December through April makes compaction easier since the sandy soil holds less water, so grading work tends to go faster then.

Answer

Will the truck be able to dump the fill dirt where I need it?

Delivery trucks place the load at the closest safe drop point with clear access, typically the driveway or curb, rather than driving into the yard itself. If your project area is farther back, plan on moving material by wheelbarrow, and let us know about any tight gates or narrow access before your delivery date.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for leveling my yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the job, especially anything below the top few inches, since it compacts into a stable base and costs less than topsoil. Reserve topsoil for the final 2 to 4 inch cap where grass or plants will actually grow, since fill dirt alone will not support root growth.
