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.

How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Most jobs here run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you need to raise the grade, so a low spot near a foundation might take half a yard while leveling a larger backyard area before a patio build can run into several yards. Measure the low area in square feet and multiply by your target depth to get a rough cubic yard number.

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 dirt jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil capped on top before grass or plants go in, since fill dirt is not a growing medium. If you are building up a pad for a shed or patio base, a layer of gravel on top of the compacted fill gives a more stable surface. Mulch or additional topsoil can round out the project once the structural fill has settled.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Place fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, even if that means more passes with a plate compactor. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see settling and sinking a year or two later, especially with the silt loam common around Hot Springs, which holds moisture and can shift more than sandier soils if it is not compacted properly during the build up.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not something to plant directly into. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil once your grade is where you want it, otherwise grass and plants will struggle in compacted subsoil that has none of the organic matter they need. This matters more here since the native silt loam is already dense, so anything planted straight into raw fill will fight for drainage and nutrients.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall on a sloped Hot Springs lot, order slightly more than your calculated volume, sloped sites almost always need a bit extra once you account for how the fill settles into an uneven excavation edge. It is cheaper to have a little leftover for touch ups than to schedule a second small delivery for a gap you did not account for.
Grading and Filling in Hot Springs
Hot Springs sits at 632 feet with a lot of grade change between lots, so uneven ground and low spots after grading are common, especially near properties cut into the hillsides around town. The native silt loam holds water and compacts differently than sandy soils, which matters when you are backfilling against a foundation or pool wall and need the fill to settle predictably. This is structural material, not something to grow in, so it gets used to build up elevation before the topsoil layer goes down. On sloped Hot Springs lots it is also common to use fill dirt to level a spot for a shed pad or patio base before other materials go on top.
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.
