One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 10 foot low spot at that depth runs close to 2 cubic yards. For deeper fixes, figure your square footage, decide on a depth between 6 and 12 inches, and divide accordingly since fill dirt is sold and delivered by the cubic yard, not by the bag or truckload guess.

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 in Fond du Lac finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is built up, especially if grass or a garden bed goes on top. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, a layer of compactable gravel underneath the fill can help with drainage before the dirt goes in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pour. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this step and you will watch that spot sink an inch or two over the next year or two as Fond du Lac's freeze and thaw cycle works the loose material down. Compacting each lift is slower up front but it is the difference between a fix and a temporary patch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. It has no nutrient value and compacts hard, which is good for structure but bad for roots. Always cap the finished grade with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil if grass, shrubs, or a garden bed are going on top. The fill does the heavy lifting underneath, the topsoil does the growing on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are backfilling a large area, order slightly more than your calculated total, settling during compaction eats into your volume more than most people expect. It is cheaper to have a little extra on site than to schedule a second delivery for a partial yard. Pair the order with topsoil delivery on the same trip if your project needs both, since coordinating them together saves a separate scheduling headache.

Grading and Filling in Fond du Lac

Fond du Lac's silt loam holds water and compacts unevenly, which is exactly why so many yards near Lake Winnebago and around Lakeside Park end up with soggy low corners or a sunken spot next to the driveway. Fill dirt gives you a structural base to correct that grade before anything else goes on top. It is not a growing medium, so it will not feed plants or hold nutrients the way topsoil does. Around here, where the ground freezes deep enough to heave things by winter, getting the base compacted right the first time matters more than in milder climates.

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, used to raise grade or fill voids structurally. It has little organic matter and will not support plant growth well. Topsoil goes on top of fill once the grade is set, if you plan to grow anything in the area.

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 deep you need to fill, usually 6 to 12 inches, and divide the square footage by 54 to get a rough yard count for a 6 inch layer, then adjust for depth.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt in Fond du Lac?

Fill dirt work is really about the job, not the season, but avoid working the ground when it is frozen solid or saturated from spring thaw, roughly mid April to mid October gives you workable, unfrozen soil for compacting properly.

Answer

Will the truck be able to access my property?

Most residential driveways and street access work fine, but let us know about narrow gates, overhead wires, or tight turns when you order so delivery can be planned around your site. The load gets placed at one drop point, so clear a path from there to your work area.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

If you are raising a low spot, backfilling a foundation, or building up grade before anything else, fill dirt is the right structural base. If the surface needs to grow grass, shrubs, or a garden, cap that fill with topsoil, the two materials do different jobs and most builds around here use both.
