One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, which is the minimum working depth for most backfill and grading jobs around here. For a small low spot or a pool backfill run, figure your square footage first, then check whether you need 6 or up to 12 inches based on how much you are raising the grade. Because it is sold by the cubic yard, ordering the right amount up front saves you 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.

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 you want it, especially if grass or beds are going on top. If the fill is going under a paver patio or shed pad, a compactible base material on top of the fill can help too. Either way, the fill does the structural work underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never dump fill dirt in one deep pour. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, especially against a foundation or pool wall. Skipping this in Daytona's sandy, high water table ground is exactly how you end up with a soft spot that sinks a year or two later, right when you thought the job was done.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is treating fill dirt as something to plant into right away. It is subsoil, not topsoil, and it has no nutrients or structure for roots. Once your grade is set and compacted, cap the top 4 to 6 inches with real topsoil before sodding or planting, or you will fight poor growth for seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil for just the finish layer, this keeps cost efficient since topsoil runs more per yard. Pairing the two this way is standard practice for backfill and grading jobs across flat coastal lots like these.

Grading and Filling in Daytona Beach

At 20 feet of elevation and with sandy soil that drains fast but holds no shape, Daytona Beach yards often need real structural fill before anything else gets built. This is common around pool decks, low corners of lots near drainage swales, and foundations where the original grade settled over time. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to compact against, unlike sand alone which shifts under weight. It is not a growing medium, so anywhere grass or plants go on top, plan to cap it with topsoil.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, meant for structural work like raising grade or backfilling against foundations. It has no nutrients and will not support plant growth. Topsoil goes on top as a finish layer wherever grass, beds, or anything else needs to grow.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your area, decide on a depth between 6 and 12 inches depending on how low the spot is, and calculate from there. For uneven areas, break it into rough sections and add them up before ordering.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself?

Yes, compaction matters more than the fill itself for long term stability. Spread and compact in 6 to 8 inch lifts rather than dumping it all at once. In Daytona's sandy, high water table conditions, skipping compaction is the main reason fill settles unevenly over time.

Answer

Can the truck get the fill dirt close to where I need it?

Delivery is scheduled at checkout, and the load gets placed in one pile at the drop spot you choose, typically a driveway or curb area the truck can reach. If your work area is far from street access, plan on moving the material by wheelbarrow, so pick the closest reasonable spot when scheduling.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or sand for backfilling my pool?

Fill dirt is generally the better structural choice for pool backfill because it compacts and holds shape better than loose sand, which is already Daytona's native soil and tends to shift. Fill dirt gives you a firmer, more stable base against pool walls and foundations once compacted in lifts.
