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 covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, which is the shallow end of a typical 6 to 12 inch install. A low spot of 300 square feet at 8 inches deep runs somewhere around 7 cubic yards, so measure the area first and decide your target depth before ordering. Because it is sold and delivered by the cubic yard, rounding up slightly costs less than a second delivery trip.

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 jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil capping the fill so grass or plants have something to actually grow in, since fill dirt itself is not meant to support root growth. If the finished grade will see foot traffic or drainage work, a layer of gravel underneath sometimes helps before the fill goes in. Compaction equipment, even a hand tamper for smaller jobs, matters more than any material choice.

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pour and walk away. In Green Bay's clay, an uncompacted 12 inch fill can settle 2 to 3 inches over its first winter as freeze thaw cycles work through it. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate tamper or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason fill jobs need redone a year later.
Fill dirt is not soil for planting, it is structural material, and treating it like topsoil is the most common mistake we see. Cap your compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or laying sod. If you backfill against a foundation, keep the final grade sloped away from the house so Green Bay's clay does not trap water against the wall over winter.
If you are filling a large low area, consider using fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and reserving topsoil only for the top few inches where roots actually need it. This costs less overall than filling the whole depth with topsoil and performs the same structurally. Pair the order with gravel underneath if the area will handle drainage or foot traffic, since gravel manages water better than compacted clay fill alone.
Green Bay sits on dense clay that already drains poorly, so a lot of fill work here is about correcting grade so water moves away from foundations instead of pooling against them. With frost pushing down through October to May and a 5a winter that freezes and heaves ground, uncompacted fill will settle and crack whatever sits on top of it by spring. Homeowners near Lambeau and older neighborhoods with settled foundations use fill dirt to build back up before repouring walkways or patios. This is not a growing medium, it is the structural layer clay soil around here often needs before anything else goes in.
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.
