I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Most structural fill jobs call for 6 to 12 inches, so a 200 square foot low spot at 8 inches deep runs somewhere around 5 cubic yards. Measure the area you are filling and the depth you need before ordering, since fill dirt compacts down and you may need slightly more than the flat math suggests.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill jobs finish with a topsoil cap once the grade is set, especially if grass or planting beds are going in over the filled area. If you are backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, a compactable base layer under the fill can help the whole area settle evenly. Mulch or stone can follow once the topsoil is down and the area is ready for finish work.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is structural, not a growing medium, so resist the urge to spread it all at once and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially near foundations or pool walls where uneven settling can crack concrete or hardscape later. In Hudson's silt loam, uncompacted fill holds moisture longer, which slows compaction if you skip the lift-by-lift approach.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people filling low spots right before winter and expecting them to hold shape. With Hudson's first frost landing around October 15, freeze and thaw cycles on loose, uncompacted fill can heave it and create new dips by spring. If you are filling in fall, compact thoroughly and cap with topsoil before the ground freezes, or wait until after the last frost in May to finish the job properly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both fill dirt and topsoil, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them on site, since fill dirt needs to be compacted in lifts before topsoil goes on top. This keeps the structural layer doing its job and the topsoil layer staying loose enough for roots. Ordering both in the right sequence saves you from redoing grading work later.

Grading and Filling in Hudson

Hudson sits on silt loam that compacts differently than sandy soils, which means uncompacted fill left loose over winter can settle unevenly once the freeze and thaw cycle starts around the October frost date. A lot of the fill dirt we deliver around the Historic District and nearby neighborhoods goes toward leveling backyards on older lots where grading has shifted over decades. This material is not meant to grow anything on its own, it is structural, so plan on capping it with topsoil once the grade is set. If you are filling near a foundation or pool, compacting in lifts matters more here than the material choice itself.

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

Answer

What exactly is fill dirt made of, and is it clean?

Our fill dirt is subsoil from local excavation sites, screened to remove debris, rocks, and construction waste. It is not topsoil and has no nutrient value, which is actually what you want for structural work like raising grade or backfilling, since organic material in fill can decompose and cause settling over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill 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 cubic yards. If you are going deeper, say 10 inches, plan on closer to 9 cubic yards. Measure your actual depth needs since fill projects often run deeper than typical mulch or stone applications.

Answer

Can I fill and grade in the same weekend before planting grass?

You can place and compact fill dirt in a weekend, but plan on capping it with a few inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding, since fill dirt itself will not support growth. If you are working close to Hudson's May 5 last frost date, finishing the fill and topsoil cap before then gives grass a full season to establish.

Answer

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

The load gets dropped in one spot as close to your work area as the truck can safely access, since fill dirt arrives in bulk rather than spread across the site. Make sure there is a clear path wide enough for a delivery truck, and mark the exact spot ahead of time so the driver knows where to place it.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or topsoil for leveling my yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the leveling work, especially anything over a couple inches deep, then cap with topsoil only in the top few inches where grass or plants need to grow. Using topsoil alone for deep fill wastes a better material on a job that does not need nutrients, just structural volume.
