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.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you're correcting. For a 200 square foot low spot at 6 inches you're looking at roughly 4 cubic yards, and if you're going deeper, double that estimate. Measure the low area first, then decide on depth before ordering.

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.

Most fill dirt jobs in Hattiesburg finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if grass or beds are going back on top. Some customers also order sand for pool backfill where drainage matters more than compaction. If you're leveling a large area, a compactor rental alongside the delivery saves years of re-grading later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt needs to go down in lifts, not one deep pour. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch layers and compact each one before adding the next, using a plate compactor or hand tamper for smaller jobs. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people see sunken spots a year later, especially in sandy loam areas like Hattiesburg where loose fill settles unevenly once it takes on rain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't plant directly into fill dirt. It's subsoil, screened of debris but stripped of the organic matter that supports root growth. Cap any area that needs grass, shrubs, or beds with at least 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil once your fill is compacted and graded. Skipping the cap layer is why some fill jobs around here end up with patchy grass that never fully establishes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, order slightly more than your calculated volume, since compaction reduces the finished height by 10 to 15 percent as material settles. It's cheaper to have a little extra on site than to schedule a second delivery for a small top off, and leftover fill is easy to use on a second low spot elsewhere in the yard.

Grading and Filling in Hattiesburg

Hattiesburg sits at 164 feet elevation with a lot of gentle, low lying ground, and the native sandy loam soil moves water through quickly but that also means it settles and shifts more than clay ever will. That combination makes fill dirt useful for leveling low areas near USM and older Hub City neighborhoods where original grading has settled over decades. Because this is subsoil, not topsoil, it will not support planting on its own, it is meant to build structure underneath. Anyone backfilling around a pool or foundation here needs it compacted properly or the sandy base will keep shifting through the wet months.

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

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to level my whole backyard in Hattiesburg?

Yes, fill dirt is the right material for leveling and raising low ground. Just plan to compact it in layers as you go, since Hattiesburg's sandy loam soil settles more than clay if it's not packed down properly. Cap the finished grade with topsoil if you want grass or plants growing on top afterward.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 300 square foot low spot?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 300 square feet needs roughly 5.5 to 6 cubic yards. If you're filling deeper, say 12 inches, double that to around 11 to 12 cubic yards. Measure your actual low area first since most yards aren't perfectly uniform in depth.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt around Hattiesburg?

Fill dirt is a project driven material, not a seasonal one, so timing depends on your job rather than the calendar. That said, working before the wetter winter months, ahead of the November 1 first frost, gives compacted fill more time to settle before spring planting season starts.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the fill dirt on my property?

The truck drops the load at the accessible spot you specify at checkout, typically the driveway or closest clear area to your project. Make sure there's enough clearance for a full size delivery truck and mark the exact unload point if it isn't obvious, since sandy loam driveways can be soft after rain.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Fill dirt is structural, it's for raising grade, backfilling, and building up ground before anything grows. Topsoil goes on top of that as the final layer where grass, shrubs, or garden beds need to establish. Most grading jobs in Hattiesburg use both, fill dirt underneath and a topsoil cap on the surface.
