One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fills run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you need to make up. A backfill job around a pool or a low corner of a lot might only need 3 to 5 yards, while raising a larger section of yard before topsoil can run into double digits. Measure the low area's square footage and match it to your target depth before ordering.

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.

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!

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is set, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If the area will see foot traffic or runoff, a layer of gravel underneath or along the edges helps keep the fill from shifting. Pairing fill with a compactor rental for the lifts is worth it if you are placing more than a yard or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Concord's red clay does not forgive a rushed fill job. Place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next, rather than dumping the whole load and grading it flat. Skipping this step is the number one reason yards develop sunken patches a year or two later, especially where clay underneath holds moisture and shifts with freeze and thaw near the Mar 15 last frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is a structural material, not a growing medium, so do not expect grass or plants to take in it directly. Cap the finished grade with several inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding. A common mistake is spreading fill and seeding straight into it, which usually fails because the subsoil lacks the organic content roots need.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil for just the top layer where plants or grass will go. This keeps cost down since fill dirt is the cheaper structural component, and it matches how the material is actually meant to be used on a real job.

Grading and Filling in Concord

Concord sits on red clay that already drains poorly and holds water after storms rolling through the Piedmont. When a yard has a low corner or a spot near the foundation that stays soft, fill dirt raises that grade so water moves away from the house instead of sitting on top of the clay. Builders working near Charlotte Motor Speedway and the newer subdivisions around it use it constantly for pad prep and pool backfill before final grading. It is not for planting, it is for getting the ground level and stable first.

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

Can I use fill dirt to fix a low spot that floods every time it rains in Concord?

Yes, that is one of the most common uses. Fill dirt raises the grade so water sheds away instead of pooling on top of Concord's clay subsoil. Place it in compacted lifts rather than one deep pour, and cap with topsoil if the area needs to grow grass afterward.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to backfill around a new pool?

It depends on the gap width and depth, but a typical residential pool backfill often runs somewhere between 5 and 15 cubic yards. Measure the perimeter trench width, length, and depth, then convert to cubic yards, and round up since fill compacts once placed.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself or does it settle on its own?

You need to compact it. Loose fill dirt left to settle on its own can take years and often settles unevenly, leaving dips. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding more.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck put the fill dirt on my property?

The driver places the load as close to your marked spot as the truck can safely access, usually a driveway or the edge of the yard. Delivery timing is scheduled at checkout, and it helps to clear the path and have the drop area ready ahead of time.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for raising my yard's grade?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth since it is a structural subsoil meant for building up grade, then finish with a few inches of topsoil on top if anything needs to grow there. Using topsoil for the whole depth costs more and is not meant to be compacted as a structural base.
