Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you are raising the grade. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, measure the trench volume directly rather than guessing by square footage.

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 jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top since fill dirt itself will not support planting. If you are working around Floral Park's sandy loam, a few inches of topsoil over the compacted fill gives grass or beds a real chance to take root. Some customers also order gravel for drainage at the base of a pool or foundation backfill before the fill dirt goes in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is a structural material, not something to dump and walk away from. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, otherwise the ground keeps settling for years, sometimes showing up as a sunken patch near a foundation two summers later. In Floral Park's sandy loam this matters even more, since sandy soils shift more readily under uncompacted fill than clay does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, so grass and roots struggle. Always cap finished fill with several inches of real topsoil once your grading and compaction is done, especially if you are restoring a lawn area near the house.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project includes both raising grade and improving drainage, order gravel for the base layer and fill dirt above it rather than trying to use fill dirt alone for both jobs. This keeps water moving away from foundations, which matters on Floral Park lots with sandy loam that drains fine on the surface but can still pool against a wall if the grade is off.

Grading and Filling in Floral Park

Floral Park sits at a modest 89 feet of elevation on sandy loam, which drains fairly well but still leaves plenty of low spots and settled areas around older homes and foundations. Fill dirt is what people here reach for when a yard has sunk over the years or a pool or addition needs solid backfill before anything else happens. It is not a growing medium, so it will not feed your lawn or garden, but it gives you the structural base sandy loam alone cannot provide. Cap it with topsoil once the grading work is done and you are ready to plant.

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 for my Floral Park yard?

No, fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris and meant for raising grade or backfilling, not for growing anything. It lacks the organic matter topsoil has. If you plan to plant grass or a garden afterward, order fill dirt for the base and topsoil to cap it once the grade is set.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to raise a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your low area in square feet, decide how many inches you need to raise it, and scale from there. For a 300 square foot area at 6 inches, you would need roughly 5.5 cubic yards.

Answer

When is the best time to do fill and grading work here?

Fill dirt work is driven by the project, not the season, so it can go in anytime the ground is not frozen, generally between the April 15 last frost and the November 17 first frost. Working outside of freezing conditions makes compaction more consistent and effective.

Answer

Where will the truck place the fill dirt on my property?

We place the load wherever you direct on delivery day, as close to the work area as truck access allows. Clear a path at least as wide as a standard delivery truck and have the drop spot marked before we arrive, since narrower Floral Park driveways sometimes limit how close we can get.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or gravel for backfilling around my foundation?

Fill dirt works well for general backfill and raising grade, but gravel is better where drainage right against the foundation is a concern. Many jobs use gravel as a base layer for drainage and fill dirt above it to bring the grade up, especially on sandy loam sites where water movement near the foundation matters.
