I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a small low spot might only need a yard or two while a foundation backfill or a low corner of a High Point lot can run into a dozen yards or more. Measure the area you're filling in square feet, decide how deep you need to go within the typical 6 to 12 inch install range, and work backward from there. Because it's sold by the cubic yard, ordering in whole-yard amounts makes both the math and the delivery easier.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Fill dirt does the heavy lifting underneath, but most High Point jobs cap it with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is right, since nothing grows well straight in compacted subsoil. If the area drains poorly to begin with, a layer of gravel underneath before the fill can help move water away from a foundation instead of trapping it in the clay. Either way, ordering both in the same delivery window keeps the project moving instead of waiting on a second truck.
Service area
Red clay subsoil in High Point compacts hard once wet, so don't dump a full load in one lift and walk away. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch layers and compact each one before adding the next, especially near a foundation or pool wall. Skipping this step is the number one reason fill areas sink unevenly a year or two later, and by then it means tearing back into finished landscaping to fix it.
Fill dirt is not topsoil and won't support grass or plantings on its own, so cap it with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil once your grade is set. People sometimes seed straight over fill and wonder why nothing takes, when the issue is the subsoil underneath has no organic matter or structure for roots to work with.
If you're filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, since topsoil costs more per yard and doesn't need to go any deeper than roots will reach. This split keeps a big regrading job efficient without wasting the better material where it won't matter structurally.
High Point sits at about 939 feet with red clay subsoil that already drains slow and compacts hard, so a lot of the fill work here is about correcting grade around foundations and low yard areas that hold water after a storm. Builders and homeowners use fill dirt to bring those areas up to level before anything else goes in, since the native clay underneath isn't going anywhere and needs a stable base on top of it. With frost showing up by early November and lasting into mid April, most fill and grading work gets scheduled outside that window so compaction isn't fighting frozen or saturated ground. It's a structural material first, so treat it as the bones of the project, not the finish.
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 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.
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.
