I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area sits. Measure the low spot in square feet, decide your depth, and multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to land on cubic yards. Order by the cubic yard and round up a bit, since compacting fill always eats a little more material than the math suggests.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Most fill jobs finish with a cap of topsoil on top, since fill dirt is a structural base and nothing grows well in it directly. If the area will see grass or planting, order topsoil for the final few inches, and if you are building up near a foundation or pool, some crushed stone at the base helps with drainage before the fill goes in.
Service area
Place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, rather than dumping the whole depth at once. In Greenville's sandy loam, uncompacted fill settles unevenly over time as water moves through it, and you will see dips form near foundations or under patios within a year or two if you skip this step. A hand tamper works for small areas, a plate compactor for anything larger.
The most common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. Fill dirt is subsoil, it lacks organic matter and often compacts too hard for roots to push through. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before grass seed, sod, or beds go in, especially since Greenville's growing season runs from late March to mid November and you want roots establishing quickly once you plant.
If you are filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil only for the top layer, since topsoil costs more and you do not need its organic content buried a foot down. This layering approach, fill dirt as base and topsoil as finish, is standard practice on foundation and drainage jobs and keeps material costs proportional to what each layer actually needs to do.
Greenville sits at just 55 feet of elevation, so a lot of lots have low corners that hold water after a heavy rain, especially with the sandy loam base that drains fast on top but can still pond where grade dips. Builders near East Carolina University and in the newer subdivisions around town use fill dirt to bring those low areas level before pouring a patio, setting a shed, or laying sod. It is not something you grow in directly, it is the structural base underneath everything else. Get the grade right first and the rest of the yard behaves.
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.
