Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard of this fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs here run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you need to make up. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing, since fill dirt at 1.3 tons per yard adds up fast on a pallet of half-measures.

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.

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.

Most fill dirt jobs around Greenwood finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is built up, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If the area will see grass or planting beds, order topsoil for the top few inches, and if drainage is a concern near the clay, some jobs benefit from a base layer of crushed stone under the fill before compacting.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Greenwood's red clay subsoil does not forgive a dumped pile of fill left to settle on its own. Spread this fill in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift with a plate compactor before adding the next, especially near foundations or pool walls where future settling can crack concrete. Skipping this step is the most common reason people end up re-grading the same spot two years later after the ground sinks unevenly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because fill dirt is a structural material and not a growing medium, resist the urge to seed or plant directly into it. Cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before grass or beds go in, or you will fight poor drainage and stunted roots all season. This matters more here than in sandier areas since the clay underneath already limits root penetration.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low area, consider whether the whole depth needs to be fill dirt or if a cheaper base like crushed concrete could handle the bottom lifts with fill dirt only on top. This is common on bigger backfill jobs around pools or building pads where the bulk of the volume does not need select fill quality, just stable compaction.

Grading and Filling in Greenwood

Greenwood sits on red clay that already drains slowly and holds water after a heavy rain off Lake Greenwood, so low areas around homes and outbuildings tend to stay soft or pond for days. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to raise that grade above the problem instead of fighting the clay underneath it. Because the native soil compacts unevenly on its own, most jobs here need the fill placed in shallow lifts and compacted rather than dumped and left. At 636 feet elevation with clay subsoil already in place, adding compatible fill blends into the existing ground instead of creating a layer that shifts against it.

What Clean Fill Is

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 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

Can I use fill dirt to level a soggy spot in my yard near Lake Greenwood?

Yes, that is one of the most common uses for it here. Raising the grade with compacted fill dirt lifts the area above the water table and standing water problem, which the local clay soil makes worse on its own. Just plan to compact it in lifts rather than dumping it all at once, and cap with topsoil if you want grass to grow there.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 200 square foot area?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards, generally rounded up to 4. If you need a full 12 inches of depth, double that to around 7.5 cubic yards, since coverage drops by half as depth doubles.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself after delivery?

Yes, compaction is not optional if you want the grade to hold. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding more, otherwise the ground will keep settling unevenly for years, especially over Greenwood's clay subsoil. A plate compactor rental handles most residential jobs fine.

Answer

Where will the truck place the fill dirt on delivery day?

The driver places the load as close to your marked drop spot as the truck can safely access, usually at the edge of a driveway or along a clear stretch of yard. Make sure there is enough clearance for a full size delivery truck and mark exactly where you want it dumped before the scheduled delivery.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is for raising grade and backfilling, it is subsoil meant to be compacted, not grown in. Topsoil goes on top afterward if you need grass, gardens, or planting beds. Most grading jobs around Greenwood use both, fill dirt to build up the level and a topsoil cap on the surface.
