Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Typical install depth runs 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you're raising the grade, so a 12 inch lift on that same 54 square feet takes closer to two yards. Measure the low area first, decide how many inches you actually need to gain, 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 dirt jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, especially anywhere grass or plants are going back in. If you're building up around a pool deck or slab, a layer of compactable base or gravel underneath the fill can help with long-term stability in that sandy ground. Order what you need for the fill work now and add topsoil once you know the final grade.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't dump fill dirt in one thick layer and walk away. In Coral Springs' sandy limestone base, an uncompacted lift will keep settling for a year or more, especially after our summer rains soak through it repeatedly. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. It takes longer up front but it's the difference between a stable pad and a sunken spot you're patching again next year.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people trying to grow grass or plants directly in fill dirt. It's subsoil, screened of debris, but it has none of the organic matter or nutrients that topsoil has. Always cap a fill project with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or sodding. Skip that step and you'll get patchy, struggling grass no matter how much you water or fertilize.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation and also need to bring up a low area of lawn, order both jobs together rather than as two separate deliveries. Fill dirt for the structural work and topsoil for the finish grade often get delivered the same trip, which saves a second delivery fee and lets you sequence the work, fill and compact first, topsoil last, without waiting on a second truck.

Grading and Filling in Coral Springs

With Coral Springs sitting at around 13 feet of elevation on sandy limestone, drainage moves through fast but low areas still hold water after a hard rain because there's nowhere for it to run to. Fill dirt is what people use to correct that, raising yards, low corners, and areas around pools and slabs so water has somewhere else to go. It's not a growing medium, it's structural, so it gets used under the topsoil, not instead of it. Most jobs here are pool decks, foundation backfill, or leveling a yard that's been holding puddles for years.

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 low spots in my Coral Springs yard where water keeps pooling?

Yes, that's one of the most common uses for it here. Fill dirt raises the grade so water moves away instead of collecting, which matters in a flat, low elevation city like Coral Springs. Place it in compacted lifts rather than one thick layer, and cap the final few inches with topsoil if grass needs to grow there.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 200 square foot low spot?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet needs roughly 4 cubic yards. If you need to raise it a full 12 inches instead, plan on around 8 yards. Measure the actual low area first since most spots aren't perfectly even.

Answer

How long does fill dirt need to settle before I build on it or lay sod?

If it's compacted properly in 6 to 8 inch lifts as you go, it's ready for topsoil and sod almost immediately, since compaction is what prevents the ongoing settling, not time. Uncompacted fill can keep sinking for a year or more, especially with our seasonal rain, so compacting each layer is what actually saves you time.

Answer

Where will the fill dirt be dropped and do I need to be home?

The load gets placed wherever you specify, usually a driveway or the closest accessible spot to your work area, since the delivery truck needs clear room to maneuver. You don't need to be home, but the drop zone should be clear and accessible before your scheduled delivery date, which you choose at checkout.

Answer

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

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the raise since it's cheaper by volume and meant for structural building up, then finish with a few inches of topsoil on top wherever grass or plants need to grow. Using topsoil alone for a big regrade wastes money on a material that isn't built for that job.
