About this fill dirt

Inorganic subsoil for filling holes, raising low ground, and backfill. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix, this is structural material and not a growing medium. Do not use it to level a lawn surface or fill flower beds, put topsoil over it for anything you want to plant. Place it in lifts and compact as you go.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural work here runs 6 to 12 inches, so a 200 square foot low spot at 6 inches needs roughly 4 yards. Go by depth first, since fill dirt is bought to correct grade, not to spread thin. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, measure the actual void rather than just the surface area.

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 dirt jobs in Greenwood finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, especially if grass or beds are going in over it. Some pool and foundation backfill jobs also call for a layer of gravel underneath for drainage before the fill goes in. Keep a compactor or hand tamper on site, it matters more than any material choice.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not something you dump and walk away from. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially in Greenwood where the native silt loam already holds water and shifts with wet and dry cycles. Skipping compaction is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard sank near the foundation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is using fill dirt as a growing medium. It is subsoil, stripped of the organic matter that plants need, so anything you want to grow, grass, shrubs, garden beds, needs a topsoil cap on top of the compacted fill. Skip that step and you will fight bare patches and poor drainage for seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, order a bit more fill than your rough measurement, voids are rarely uniform and running short mid job means a second delivery and lost time. Pairing fill dirt with a thin gravel layer underneath in low, wet areas near the river also helps water move instead of pooling against structures.

Grading and Filling in Greenwood

Greenwood sits at only 128 feet elevation, and the silt loam common through the Delta holds moisture and compacts unevenly, which is exactly why so many jobs here start with fill dirt instead of topsoil. Low spots near the Yazoo River and older lots around Grand Boulevard often need real grade correction, not just a cosmetic layer. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to build on before anything decorative or plantable goes over top. It is the material for reshaping ground, not for growing on it.

What Fill Dirt Is

Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. 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 for my Greenwood yard?

No, fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris and meant for raising grade or backfilling, not for growing anything. Topsoil has the organic matter plants need. Most projects here use fill dirt to build up low ground first, then cap it with a few inches of topsoil where grass or plants are going.

Answer

How many yards of fill dirt do I need for a low spot by my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep, so a 300 square foot area at that depth needs roughly 5.5 yards. If you are going deeper, closer to 12 inches for serious grade correction, plan on double that. Measure the lowest point, not an average, since that is what drives the volume.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt in Greenwood?

Fill dirt is project driven, not seasonal, so there is no wrong time of year to order it. That said, working when the ground is dry makes compaction easier, and with our last frost around March 21 and first frost around November 6, the stretch between gives you a longer dry window if you have a choice.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get to a backyard pool or tight lot near Grand Boulevard?

Access depends on your driveway width and any gates or fencing, so let us know those details when you schedule. Older lots near Grand Boulevard sometimes have narrower access, and we will place the load as close to your work area as the truck can safely reach.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or gravel for backfilling around my pool?

Fill dirt is the standard choice for bulk backfill around pools and foundations since it compacts into a stable base. Gravel is sometimes added underneath in low or wet areas for drainage, but it costs more per yard and is not necessary everywhere. Most Greenwood jobs use fill dirt alone, compacted in lifts.
