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 of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you are raising the grade. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For deeper fills, plan on compacting in lifts rather than dumping it all at once.

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 in Easton get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if grass or beds are going back in. Some customers also order a compactable base material for driveway or patio subgrades on the same delivery. Pair with topsoil if anything above the fill needs to actually grow.
Service area
Easton's clay loam does not drain fast, so if you are filling around a foundation or pool, grade the final surface slightly away from the structure before you cap it. Fill dirt itself has no drainage built in, it is dense subsoil, and if you leave it flat or sloped toward a wall, water sits against that wall through wet stretches every spring and fall.
The most common mistake is dumping fill dirt in one deep pour and walking away. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, or you will be watching the ground sink for a year or two, especially in low areas that already hold moisture. Rent a plate compactor for anything past a few inches, hand tamping does not do enough on clay-heavy ground.
If your project needs both structural fill and a growing layer on top, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them. Fill dirt and topsoil have different jobs, and mixing them wastes the compaction strength of the fill while diluting the topsoil's nutrients. Keep them in distinct layers, fill first and compacted, topsoil capped on top only where planting happens.
Easton sits at 358 feet with clay loam soil that compacts hard when wet and heaves when it freezes, which is common down near the Forks and in older neighborhoods with uneven grading. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to correct those low spots instead of fighting the native soil every season. With a last frost around April 20 and first frost by October 18, most fill and backfill work here happens in that window when the ground is workable and not frozen or saturated. This is not a growing medium, it is the structural layer under everything else.
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.
