Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, which is the shallow end of typical install depth. Most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep, so a 200 square foot low spot at 8 inches deep runs somewhere around 5 cubic yards. Measure the area you are raising and the depth you actually need before ordering, not just the depth that looks right from the porch.

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

Fill dirt does the heavy lifting, but most projects finish with a few inches of topsoil on top wherever grass, beds, or sod need to take root. If you are backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, some gravel underneath for drainage keeps water from sitting against the structure. Mulch or straw can help hold new topsoil in place while grass establishes over it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, especially on Hopkinsville's silt loam, which shifts more than sandier soils once water gets into a loose fill pile. Skipping compaction is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their new patio pad has a dip in it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, so do not spread grass seed straight onto it and expect results. Cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before planting anything, whether that is lawn, a garden bed, or foundation plantings. Skipping this step is a common mistake that leads to bare patches and erosion once the first hard rain comes through.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, rather than paying to move topsoil for the whole job. This split approach costs less in material and hauling than using topsoil throughout, since fill dirt is priced and handled as a bulk structural product. Pair it with gravel underneath if the area sits near a foundation or drains poorly.

Grading and Filling in Hopkinsville

Hopkinsville sits on silt loam, which drains fine on the surface but compacts unevenly once you start digging into it, so uneven backfill tends to settle in pockets over a season or two if it is not placed right. A lot of the low ground and drainage swales around here need fill dirt before anything else happens, whether that is a new patio slab or a yard that pools water near the foundation. Because this is subsoil and not topsoil, it is built for structure, not for growing grass or garden beds. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is where you want 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 my backyard in Hopkinsville?

Yes, fill dirt is the right material for leveling low spots and raising grade before you plant anything. Place it in compacted lifts of 6 to 8 inches rather than one deep pour, since Hopkinsville's silt loam settles unevenly if it is not compacted as you go. Cap the finished grade with topsoil if grass or plants are going in.

Answer

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

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 300 square feet needs roughly 5.5 cubic yards. If you are going deeper, say 12 inches, double that to around 11 cubic yards. Round up a bit to account for settling once it is compacted.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before winter?

With first frost typically landing around October 30 in Hopkinsville, it is worth finishing fill and grading work before the ground starts to cool and get wet. Compacted fill placed in fall has time to settle before spring planting season, which runs after last frost around April 30.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to reach my backyard?

That depends on your driveway width and any gates or tight turns, so let us know about access when you schedule. Most trucks can back into a standard driveway and dump close to the work area, but tell us ahead if the drop zone is behind a fence or down a slope so we can plan the delivery properly.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Order fill dirt for raising grade, backfilling, or any structural job where nothing needs to grow right away, since it is subsoil screened of debris and priced for bulk use. Order topsoil only for the top few inches where grass, beds, or foundation plantings are going in. Most grading jobs use both, fill dirt below and topsoil on top.
