How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area is. Measure the square footage of the area you are raising, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything over a few inches, plan on multiple compacted lifts rather than one deep pour.

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 finish with a cap of topsoil once the structural work is done, especially if grass or beds are going on top. If drainage is a concern in a low spot, a layer of gravel underneath the fill can help water move instead of pooling against a foundation. Keep those separate from the fill order itself since they serve different jobs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not something you dump in a 12 inch pile and call done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. In Janesville's silt loam, skipping this step means the ground keeps sinking for a season or two after you think you're finished, especially near foundations where water table shifts with spring thaw.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant straight into it. It is subsoil, screened of debris but not amended, and it will not support root growth well on its own. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil once your grading and compaction are done, and save the fill for what it is meant for, which is structure underneath.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are raising a large low area, it is worth pairing fill dirt with a base layer of gravel where drainage is already a problem, particularly in yards with the heavier clay pockets found in parts of Janesville. The gravel gives water somewhere to go instead of collecting against your fill and softening it over time. Order both in the same delivery window to save on trips.
Grading and Filling in Janesville
Janesville sits at 837 feet with silt loam soil that compacts fine when you do it right but keeps settling for years if you dump it and walk away. A lot of the fill work we see around town is backfilling foundations near older homes, leveling low yards that pond after spring melt, and building up ground before a pool goes in. With clay-heavy pockets mixed into the silt loam in some neighborhoods, drainage around a house can already be marginal, so fill placed in proper lifts matters more here than in sandier soil. This is not topsoil and it will not grow anything on its own, it is the structural layer underneath.
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.
