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, so a small low spot or backfill area might only need a yard or two, while raising a larger section of yard before building a patio or shed pad can run into double digits. Since it's sold by the cubic yard, measure the length and width of the area first, then decide how many inches of lift you actually need before ordering.

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 in Georgetown finish with a layer of topsoil on top, since fill isn't meant to grow anything on its own. If the area will see grass or landscaping, plan for a topsoil cap and possibly compost worked into the top few inches. For drainage-sensitive spots near foundations, a base of gravel underneath the fill can help keep water moving away from the structure.

Georgetown's silt loam holds water longer than sandier soils, which means fill dirt placed too wet won't compact right, it'll just squish and resettle later. If you can, let the base area dry out for a day or two after any rain before you start placing lifts. Compact each 6 to 8 inch layer with a plate compactor rather than dumping the whole load and walking away, or you'll be filling in sunken spots again by next spring.
The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. Fill dirt is subsoil, it has little organic matter and poor structure for root growth. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding grass or planting anything, otherwise you'll fight poor drainage and weak growth for a couple of seasons.
If you're raising a large area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, since topsoil costs more and you don't need the organic content buried eight inches down. This split approach gets you a stable base without paying premium material prices for structural fill that never sees a root.
Georgetown's silt loam compacts fine once it's dry, but it holds moisture through the spring thaw and can turn soft and slow to firm up around foundations, pool decks, and low corners of a yard. That's exactly where fill dirt earns its keep, giving you a stable base that won't sink back down once it's compacted in lifts. With elevation sitting around 846 feet and no major drainage advantage across most residential lots, a lot of Georgetown properties have a stubborn wet spot or two that needs raising rather than draining. This is a structural fix, not a garden bed, so plan to cap it with topsoil if grass or plants are going on top.
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.
