Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 20 foot low spot needs roughly 4 cubic yards to bring it up 6 inches. For deeper fill, like backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, figure your cubic footage and divide by 27, then add a bit for compaction settling. Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard here, so measure the actual void you are filling, not just the surface area.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
Most fill jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt itself will not support planting. If you are backfilling around a structure, a layer of gravel or drain rock at the base helps water move instead of pooling against clay loam. Pair the two if your project ends with grass, a garden bed, or anything else that needs to grow.
Service area
Fill dirt is a structural material, not something you spread and walk away from. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially over Corcoran's clay loam, which does not drain fast and will trap uncompacted fill until it settles unevenly over a year or two. Skipping compaction is the single biggest reason fill jobs need redoing.
A common mistake here is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. It has no nutrient value and often compacts too hard for roots to push through. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil if grass, shrubs, or a garden bed is the end goal, and keep that cap uncompacted so roots can establish.
If you are filling a large low spot on ag adjacent land, order in stages rather than one massive load. Compacting in lifts means you will want repeat access to the pile anyway, and smaller sequential orders are easier to manage on flat, open ground where equipment access is usually not the constraint that it is on tighter residential lots.
Corcoran sits low and flat near the old Tulare Lake bed, and that clay loam soil holds water and settles unevenly once you dig into it. Fill dirt gets used here to bring foundations, pads, and low pasture ground up to grade before anything gets built or planted on top. Because the native soil is heavy clay loam, compaction matters more than usual, loose fill over clay can trap water and shift later. Most jobs here are building up ground that floods or settles, not decorative work.
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.
