About this fill dirt

Screened fill dirt free of debris, for raising low ground and backfilling. Structural material, place it in lifts and compact as you go.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and this material runs 1.3 tons per yard so weight adds up fast on larger orders. Most structural fill jobs call for 6 to 12 inches, so figure your square footage, decide on depth within that range, and scale from the 54 square foot baseline. For anything past a small low spot, it is worth measuring twice since underestimating means a second delivery.

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.

Fill dirt is a base layer, not a finish, so most jobs around here pair it with topsoil capped on top wherever grass or plants need to grow. If you're building up a bed or leveling before landscaping, ordering both together in the right ratio saves a second delivery trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Silt loam like what's common around Coshocton compacts differently than sandy soil, it can look solid on top while staying loose underneath. Place fill in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, don't dump it all at once and grade it flat. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch two years later, especially near foundations where standing water makes it worse.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium and won't support turf or plants on its own, it needs a topsoil cap if anything is going in on top. A common mistake is spreading fill and seeding directly into it, which usually fails because the subsoil lacks the organic structure roots need. Plan for at least a few inches of topsoil over any fill area that's going to be planted.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low area, it often makes sense to order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and cap the top few inches with topsoil rather than paying for topsoil throughout. This keeps cost down since fill dirt is a lower cost structural material, while still giving you a workable growing layer where it matters. Just keep the fill compacted before the topsoil goes on.

Grading and Filling in Coshocton

Coshocton sits on silt loam that holds water and settles slowly once disturbed, which is exactly why fill dirt needs to go in compacted, not just dumped and graded. A lot of the older lots around Roscoe Village and the canal area have uneven grading from decades of settling, and property owners here are often raising low corners of yards or leveling ground before a shed or patio goes in. With frost reaching down by late October and the ground staying workable into early May, most fill projects here get done in the warmer stretch when the silt loam isn't saturated or frozen. Working wet silt loam just makes a mess and compacts poorly, so timing matters as much as material.

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

Answer

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No, fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, meant for structural jobs like raising grade or backfilling, not for growing anything. Topsoil has the organic content plants need. Most projects that end in lawn or garden use fill dirt below and cap it with topsoil on top.

Answer

How many yards of fill dirt do I need for my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure your area, decide how deep you're filling within the typical 6 to 12 inch range, and scale from there, doubling the yardage if you're going a full 12 inches instead of 6.

Answer

Can I install fill dirt myself and when is the best time in Coshocton?

Yes, but place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding more, or the ground will keep settling for years. With Coshocton's frost season running late October to early May, most people do this work in the drier, warmer months when the silt loam isn't saturated or frozen solid.

Answer

Where will the truck put the fill dirt on delivery day?

The delivery truck places the load at your driveway or another accessible drop point, delivery is scheduled at checkout once you place your order. Since fill dirt is heavy at 1.3 tons per cubic yard, plan your drop spot close to where you're working, moving it far by hand afterward is a lot of effort.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for leveling a low spot in my yard?

If you're raising the grade significantly, fill dirt for the bulk depth and a topsoil cap on top is the practical approach, since fill dirt is meant for structural volume and topsoil is meant for growing. For a shallow low spot of an inch or two, topsoil alone might be simpler.
