Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs here run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you're correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide on your depth based on how much you need to raise it, and order in whole yards since fill compacts down as it's placed. For a pool backfill or foundation build up, it's worth rounding up slightly to cover the compaction loss.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
Most fill jobs get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, since fill dirt itself won't support planting or turf. If you're finishing with sod or a garden bed on top, plan for that topsoil layer as a separate order rather than trying to grow directly into the subsoil. Some customers also pair it with gravel for drainage at the base of a backfilled area before the fill goes in.

Don't dump fill dirt in one deep pour, especially over Johns Creek's clay base. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason fill settles unevenly for years afterward, leaving dips around pool decks and foundations that show up well after the project looks finished.
A common mistake is trying to plant directly into fill dirt. It's subsoil, stripped of organic matter, and it won't hold nutrients or drain the way topsoil does. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before laying sod or starting a bed, even if the fill looks fine on its own once it's compacted and graded.
If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, order your fill and your topsoil together so both deliveries land close in time and you're not paying for two separate mobilizations. It also keeps the project moving in one continuous push rather than stalling out waiting on a second load once the fill is compacted and ready to be capped.
Johns Creek sits on heavy clay that already drains slowly, so any low spot in a yard tends to stay wet well into spring before the April 5 last frost. Fill dirt gets used here to correct that grade, not to grow anything in directly, since it's a structural material rather than topsoil. A lot of the fill work we deliver for goes toward pool installs and additions, common in a city with this much newer construction, where the ground around a foundation needs to be built back up and compacted before landscaping starts. Because the native soil is already dense clay, contractors here tend to be strict about compaction lifts so the fill doesn't settle unevenly against that clay base over time.
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.
