Fill dirt runs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, and one yard spread at 6 inches deep covers roughly 54 square feet. Typical install depth runs 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you are raising the grade, so a low spot needing 12 inches will take about double the yardage of the same area at 6 inches. Measure the square footage of the area first, then match it to your target depth to land on a yard count.

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 jobs finish with a topsoil cap on top, since fill dirt is a structural base and nothing grows well in it directly. If the finished grade needs to hold shape on a slope or near the canal's tidal influence, some jobs also bring in a layer of gravel or crushed stone underneath for drainage before the fill goes in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Skipping this step is the single most common mistake we see, because a foot of loose fill dumped all at once will keep settling for one to two years, cracking patios, sinking pool decks, and creating low spots right where you needed the ground raised.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, so if grass, garden beds, or anything rooted needs to go on top, cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before planting. Sandy loam like what runs under most Hampton Bays lots drains well already, so the topsoil cap does not need to be thick, it just needs to be there, since roots will struggle to establish directly in screened subsoil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, order your fill and any gravel base material together for the same delivery window rather than staggering trips, since staging both piles once saves real time on a job with a tight schedule. Ask what the material looked like coming out of the ground locally, sandy subsoil compacts differently than a heavier clay-based fill, and knowing that up front changes how many lifts you plan for.

Grading and Filling in Hampton Bays

Hampton Bays sits low, at 33 feet elevation with sandy loam underneath, which drains fast but also settles and shifts once you start digging near the water table by the Shinnecock Canal. Fill dirt is what people here reach for when a yard needs raising before it floods, or when a foundation or pool excavation leaves a gap that has to be built back up with something that will actually hold its grade. Because the native soil is sandy, contractors here often lean on fill to create a stable base layer before capping with topsoil, since sandy loam alone does not always compact predictably. It is job material, not a soil amendment, so it gets used year round whenever grading or excavation work is happening.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil for my yard in Hampton Bays?

No, they serve different jobs. Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grade or backfill structurally, it has no nutrients and nothing grows in it well. Topsoil goes on top afterward wherever you need grass, plants, or a garden bed to establish. Most projects here use both, fill to build up the base and topsoil as the finish layer.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need to raise a low spot?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your area's square footage, then decide your target depth, typically 6 to 12 inches for most grading jobs. A 300 square foot low spot needing 8 inches deep would run roughly 7 to 8 cubic yards after accounting for compaction settling.

Answer

When is the right time to bring in fill dirt around here?

Fill dirt work is not really tied to the growing season, it is driven by whatever excavation or grading project you have going, whether that is a pool install, a foundation backfill, or raising a wet section of yard. The main timing consideration is avoiding frozen or saturated ground, so late fall through early spring can be trickier for proper compaction.

Answer

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

The truck drops the load wherever you have a clear, flat access point, usually a driveway or curbside spot wide enough for the vehicle. We do not place fill directly into tight backyard spaces or over obstacles, so plan on moving it from the drop zone to the final work area yourself or with equipment.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or should I use gravel for my backfill job?

It depends on what you are backfilling and what drainage you need. Fill dirt compacts into a solid, stable base and costs less to move in bulk, which suits raising grade or general backfill. Gravel drains better and resists settling more, so it is often used as a base layer under fill near foundations or in wetter spots close to the canal.
