One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most grading or backfill jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you are raising. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For backfill around a foundation or pool wall, measure the trench volume directly rather than guessing at square footage.

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 dirt jobs finish with a topsoil cap once the grade is set, since fill dirt alone will not support turf or planting. If you are backfilling near a patio or walkway, a layer of compactable base gravel underneath the fill can help with drainage on our clay-heavy ground. Either way, plan the order sizes together so you are not scheduling two separate deliveries for one project.

Do not dump fill dirt in one thick layer and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this step and the sandy clay base here will let the fill settle unevenly over the next couple winters as freeze thaw cycles work through it, leaving dips right where you thought you had solved the problem.
The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. It has no nutrient value and compacts too hard for roots to push through easily. Always cap finished grade with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding, sodding, or planting beds, even if the fill dirt looks dark and soil-like when it arrives.
If your project also needs topsoil or gravel, plan both deliveries around the same grading timeline instead of spacing them out. Getting the fill compacted and graded before your topsoil truck shows up saves you from reworking the same ground twice, and it is easier to judge your topsoil quantity once the fill layer is already set to final grade.
Colorado Springs sits at 6,035 feet on sandy clay that drains fast but compacts hard once it settles, which is exactly the kind of base fill dirt is built for. A lot of homes near Garden of the Gods and through the older neighborhoods have uneven pads or low corners from decades of erosion and freeze thaw, and fill dirt is what levels that ground back out before anything else goes on top. With first frost around October 1 and last frost near May 10, there is a solid window each year to get grading done before the ground locks up. This is structural material, so plan on capping it with topsoil wherever grass, beds, or gardens are going in.
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.
