One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you're raising the grade. Measure the low area's square footage, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there, rounding up rather than down since running short mid-job means a second delivery.

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 capping the surface, especially if grass or beds are going in on top. If you're backfilling near a foundation or pool, a layer of compactable base or gravel underneath can help with drainage before the fill goes in. We deliver those separately so you're not paying to move material you don't need.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Compact every 6 to 8 inch lift before adding the next one, especially over College Station's clay base which already shifts with moisture changes. Skipping compaction is the number one reason fill settles unevenly a year or two later, leaving dips right where you thought the ground was solid. A plate compactor rented for an afternoon costs far less than redoing the grading after the fact.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it's often dense subsoil with little organic matter. If anything is going in on top, whether sod, beds, or a garden, cap the fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil. Skipping this step is a common mistake that leaves new grass struggling in compacted subsoil that drains poorly and has none of the nutrients plants need.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated volume, since compaction during placement typically reduces total volume by 10 to 15 percent. It's cheaper to have a small amount left over for a future low spot than to schedule a second delivery for a few extra yards, especially once you've already got equipment and access set up on site.

Grading and Filling in College Station

College Station's clay soil holds water and swells and shrinks with the seasons, which is exactly why low spots near foundations and Kyle Field area homes tend to reappear year after year if they're filled with the wrong material. Fill dirt gives you a stable base that won't wash out the way loose topsoil does, especially with the heavy spring rains before the April 9 last frost window. It's the right call for backfilling pool excavations, leveling ground before a patio, or building a pad up above grade. Just remember it's structural, not something to plant into directly.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris and rock, meant to build up ground structurally. Topsoil contains organic matter and is meant for planting. If you're raising a low area and then planting grass or beds, use fill dirt for the bulk and cap it with topsoil where roots will actually grow.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot behind my house?

Measure the square footage of the low area and multiply by your target depth in feet. One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches, so a 300 square foot area at that depth needs roughly 5.5 cubic yards. Round up, since running short means a second delivery.

Answer

Can I fill and plant grass the same weekend?

Not if you want it to last. Fill dirt needs to be placed in lifts and compacted, or it settles unevenly over the following months. Cap it with topsoil before planting. Given College Station's clay and seasonal rain, letting the fill settle for a couple weeks before finishing grade saves rework later.

Answer

How much space does the delivery truck need to drop the load?

Our trucks need a clear, reasonably level path to the drop location and enough width to maneuver, typically a standard driveway or side yard works fine. Let us know at checkout if access is tight, low hanging branches or narrow gates are common issues around older College Station lots, and we'll plan the drop spot accordingly.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or a sand and gravel mix for pool backfill?

Fill dirt works for most residential pool backfill when compacted properly in lifts, and it's the more economical choice for bulk volume. A sand or gravel mix drains better and is sometimes preferred near structures with drainage concerns. If you're unsure, ask your contractor what your specific site and clay conditions call for.
