One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most projects run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on what you're building up. For a low spot or backfill job, measure the square footage and multiply by your target depth in feet, then figure your yardage from there. Ordering a bit extra is smart since compaction will settle the pile lower than it looks on delivery day.

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 get capped with a layer of topsoil once the grade is where you want it, especially if grass or plants are going in on top. If you're building up around a foundation or pool, a layer of gravel underneath can help with drainage before the fill goes in. Neither is required, but they're common pairings on real Hazleton jobsites.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it's structural. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, whether you're using a plate compactor or just tamping with equipment weight. Skipping this step is the number one reason yards in Hazleton develop sunken spots two or three years later, especially over old mine-affected ground where settling is already a known issue.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Timing matters more here than people expect. With last frost around May 10 and first frost by October 7, avoid placing fill when the ground is frozen or waterlogged from spring thaw, since you can't compact it properly either way. Late spring through early fall gives you workable, dry conditions for lifts that actually stay put.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low area, don't order all topsoil out of convenience. Fill dirt is denser and cheaper per yard to move volume, then cap the top 4 to 6 inches with topsoil where grass or plants need to grow. This layering approach gets you a stable base without paying growing-medium prices for material that's just going to sit underground.

Grading and Filling in Hazleton

Hazleton sits at nearly 1,900 feet with sandy loam soil that drains fast but can shift over old mine fill and uneven grading common around the city. That kind of ground needs a structural fill that compacts predictably, not loose topsoil that settles unevenly. Fill dirt gives you a stable base for pool decks, foundation backfill, or leveling low yards before winter freeze and spring thaw start working on the ground again. With first frost around October 7 and last frost near May 10, most fill projects here get done in the shoulder seasons when the ground isn't frozen or saturated.

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 my whole backyard in Hazleton?

Yes, that's one of the most common uses, especially on sloped lots common around Hazleton's hillside neighborhoods. Just plan to compact it in lifts rather than dumping it all at once, and cap the surface with topsoil if you want grass or plants to establish on top.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a 10 by 20 foot low spot?

At 6 inches deep, that's 200 square feet, and one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at that depth, so you'd need roughly 4 cubic yards. If you're going deeper, say 12 inches, double that to around 8 cubic yards, plus a bit extra for compaction settling.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt for a foundation backfill?

Late spring through early fall works best here, once the ground has thawed and dried out from winter and before first frost hits around October 7. Working in frozen or saturated soil makes compaction unreliable, and you want each lift settled properly before the next one goes down.

Answer

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

The driver places the load as close to your project area as your driveway or yard access allows. Clear a path beforehand and let us know if you're on a steep or narrow lot, which is common in parts of Hazleton, so we can plan the drop spot accordingly.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for building up my yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth, it's denser and built for structural buildup, then cap the top few inches with topsoil if anything needs to grow there. Using all topsoil for a deep fill job costs more and doesn't compact as reliably as screened subsoil does.
