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

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs here call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area sits. Measure the length and width of the area you are raising, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything deeper than 8 inches, plan on placing it in lifts rather than one pour.

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

Fill dirt does the heavy lifting of raising grade, but it is not a growing medium, so most jobs cap it with a layer of topsoil once the fill is compacted. If the finished area will see grass or plants, order topsoil alongside your fill dirt delivery. Some foundation and drainage jobs also pair fill with a load of sand or gravel for the base layer before the fill goes on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Corpus Christi's sandy clay does not compact the same way loose sand does. If you dump fill dirt in one thick layer over sandy clay, the top compacts fine but the bottom stays loose, and you will watch that spot sink over the next year or two. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts, run a plate compactor over each one before adding the next, and the finished grade will actually hold instead of settling into a shallow dip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people trying to grow grass straight on top of fill dirt. It is subsoil, not topsoil, so it lacks the organic content plants need and often compacts too dense for roots to push through. Cap the finished, compacted fill with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil before seeding or sodding, and skip this step and you will be reseeding bare patches within a season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are raising a large low area, it is more efficient to order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and finish with a thinner topsoil layer than to buy topsoil all the way down. Topsoil costs more per yard and does not compact for structural support the way fill dirt does, so save it for the top few inches where roots actually live.

Grading and Filling in Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi sits at 13 feet of elevation with sandy clay soil that does not drain fast, so low spots in yards and along foundations tend to hold water after heavy coastal rain. Fill dirt is how people here correct that, raising grade so water moves away from the house instead of sitting against it. It is also the standard backfill around pool installs and foundation work, common projects in a city built this close to sea level. Because it is structural, not topsoil, it has to be placed and compacted correctly or the sandy clay underneath will let it settle unevenly over time.

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 where water pools in my yard after rain?

Yes, that is one of the most common reasons people in Corpus Christi order it. Raising the grade with fill dirt, compacted in lifts, redirects water away from the low spot instead of letting it sit there. Just cap the finished fill with topsoil if you want grass to grow back over it.

Answer

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

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards. If you are going 12 inches deep to correct a deeper low spot, double that to around 7.5 cubic yards.

Answer

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

You need to compact it. Left alone, fill dirt settles unevenly over months or years, especially over Corpus Christi's sandy clay base. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor before adding more, particularly if you are building up a pad near a foundation or pool.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach the backyard or does it dump at the curb?

Trucks generally place the load as close as access allows, but tight gates, low fences, or soft ground can limit how far into the property they can drive. Let us know your access situation when you schedule and we will plan the drop spot accordingly, delivery timing itself is set at checkout.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for building up my yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth, since it is denser, compacts for structure, and costs less per yard than topsoil. Reserve topsoil for the top 3 to 4 inches where grass or plants will actually grow, fill dirt alone is too dense and low in organic matter to support root growth on its own.
