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, less if you go deeper. Most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches, so a 200 square foot low spot at 8 inches lands around 5 cubic yards. Measure the actual low area, not the whole yard, since fill dirt is for correcting grade, not blanketing a whole lot.

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 dirt jobs finish with a few yards of topsoil on top, since fill dirt alone will not grow grass or hold plants. If the area sits near a foundation or pool wall, some contractors also order crushed stone underneath for drainage before the fill goes in. Ask about topsoil delivery in the same order if you know the finish grade needs to support lawn.

Fill dirt is structural, not topsoil, so never dump it all in one deep pour. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see sinking or cracking a year later, especially in clay loam soils like Fort Smith's that hold moisture and shift as they dry out.
A common mistake is capping fill dirt with grass seed directly. Fill dirt has no organic matter and compacts too hard for roots to establish. Always finish with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil before seeding or sodding, and let the fill settle through a rain cycle first if your timeline allows it, since Fort Smith's clay base means settling can take a few weeks to show.
If your project also needs drainage work near a foundation or pool, order crushed stone for the base layer before the fill dirt goes on top. Doing both in one delivery visit saves a second trip charge and lets you sequence the job properly, stone first for drainage, then fill dirt to bring the grade up, then topsoil to finish.
Fort Smith sits on clay loam that already drains slow, so low areas around foundations, sheds, and pool decks tend to hold water after storms. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to build those areas up before the soil settles for a season or two. Because this is subsoil, not topsoil, it will not support plant growth on its own, which matters here since most yards need a finish layer to get grass established again. Plan for a cap of topsoil on anything that needs to grow back.
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.
