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 roughly 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and this material compacts best in 6 to 8 inch lifts, so plan your order around that layering rather than one deep dump. For a foundation backfill or a low spot averaging 8 to 10 inches deep, figure closer to 40 to 48 square feet per yard once you account for compaction settling. Measure the full area you're raising, not just the visible low point, since edges usually need feathering too.

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 dirt jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where you want it, since fill dirt itself won't support turf or plantings. If you're building up a bed or a slope, a layer of mulch or gravel on top of the topsoil cap helps hold everything in place while it settles. Pair it with topsoil delivery in the same order if you know the finish grade already.

Fill dirt from local excavation carries whatever moisture it had in the ground, and Cuyahoga Falls silt loam holds water longer than sandier soils. If it arrives heavy and clumpy after a wet stretch, let it sit a day or two before compacting, working it wet just smears it into a dense, poorly draining mass instead of a stable base.
The biggest mistake on backfill jobs is dumping the full depth in one pass and walking away. Without compacting in 6 to 8 inch lifts, the pile looks solid for a season then sinks unevenly around your foundation or pool, pulling downspouts and pavers out of alignment. A hand tamper or plate compactor between lifts saves you from redoing the grading next spring.
If you're raising a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and finish with a thinner topsoil layer on top rather than filling the whole hole with topsoil. Topsoil is priced and sourced for growing, not for structural fill, so using it for the whole depth wastes money on material that doesn't need to be that rich.
Cuyahoga Falls sits on silt loam that already holds water longer than sandy soil, so any low area near the river valley or a downspout tends to stay soft into spring. Fill dirt is the tool for correcting that grade before you plant or pour anything, not a soil amendment, it is structural material meant to be compacted. With a last frost around May 5 and frost back by mid October, most people here are moving dirt in that window between thaw and the ground freezing hard again. Backfilling around pool decks and foundation walls is a common call, since the native silt loam settles unevenly once disturbed.
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.
