About this fill dirt

Inorganic subsoil for filling holes, raising low ground, and backfill. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix, this is structural material and not a growing medium. Do not use it to level a lawn surface or fill flower beds, put topsoil over it for anything you want to plant. Place it in lifts and compact as you go.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep 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 anything over a foot of buildup, plan on two lifts rather than one deep 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

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil on top, especially if lawn, garden beds, or landscaping will sit over the fill. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, a layer of drain rock beneath the fill helps with water movement before you cap it off. Either way, order the topsoil or rock at the same time so everything lands in one trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ellensburg's silt loam already holds water longer than sandy soil, so if you're filling a low spot that ponds, don't just dump fill dirt on top of saturated ground. Let the base dry out or add a few inches of drain rock first. Fill dropped straight onto wet silt loam will squish and shift for a season instead of compacting properly, and you'll end up redoing the grading next spring once things dry out.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is spreading fill in one deep layer and calling it done. Anything over 6 to 8 inches needs to go down in lifts, each one compacted before the next goes on, or the whole pile keeps settling for a year or two, especially with freeze thaw cycles working through the ground each winter here. A rented plate compactor for a weekend costs a lot less than regrading later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're building up ground before a shed, patio, or fence line, order your fill dirt and any capping topsoil in the same delivery window so you're not paying for two separate trips. Fill dirt itself is inexpensive material, most of the cost is the trucking, so consolidating loads and ordering a bit extra up front is usually cheaper than a second delivery when you come up short mid project.

Grading and Filling in Ellensburg

Ellensburg sits at 1565 feet with silt loam soil that compacts differently than sandy or clay ground, which matters when you are trying to build up a stable pad. A lot of the fill work here happens around foundations, pole barns, and low areas that pond after spring runoff off the surrounding hills. Because the ground freezes and thaws through a real winter here, fill placed in proper lifts and compacted holds up better than dirt just dumped and leveled. This is structural material for grading and leveling, not a growing medium, so plan on capping it with topsoil if anything needs to root in it.

What Fill Dirt Is

Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. 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 level my whole yard in Ellensburg?

You can, but fill dirt is a structural base, not something to grow grass in directly. Use it to raise the low grade, compact it in lifts, then cap with a few inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding. Skipping the topsoil cap means poor germination since fill dirt lacks the organic content plants need.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure the length and width of the low area, multiply for square footage, divide by 54, then adjust for your target depth. For a 300 square foot area at 6 inches, that's roughly 5.5 cubic yards before rounding up for compaction.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt around here?

Fill dirt work is job driven, not seasonal, but drier ground compacts better. Between last frost in mid May and first frost in late September gives you the most workable window, since wet spring silt loam is harder to compact properly. Winter fill work is possible but frozen or saturated ground makes compaction unreliable.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my property?

Most residential driveways and gravel pads work fine for our trucks, but let us know about narrow access, low branches, or soft ground when you schedule at checkout. We place the load where you direct the driver, so having a clear, solid path from the street to the drop spot makes the delivery faster and keeps the truck from tearing up your lawn.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for building up my garden bed?

If you're just raising a garden bed a few inches, topsoil alone works fine. Fill dirt is for larger volume grading, foundations, or low spots needing 6 inches or more of buildup, since it's cheaper subsoil meant to be capped with topsoil where anything needs to root. For deep fills under a garden, use fill dirt as the base and topsoil on top.
