One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 10 foot low spot needs roughly 2 yards to hit that depth, more if you're going deeper toward the 12 inch end. Since fill dirt is structural and gets compacted in 6 to 8 inch lifts, plan your total depth first, then divide it into lifts before ordering so you know how many deliveries or how large a single load you'll need.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Most fill jobs around here finish with a few inches of topsoil capped on top once the fill is compacted, especially if grass or beds are going in over it. If the area sits low because of drainage, some gravel or crushed stone underneath the fill line can help move water away before it ever reaches the surface.
Service area
Kannapolis clay is dense but it doesn't forgive shortcuts. Place fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next, especially near a foundation. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch a year later, since loose fill settles unevenly once rain works into it, and by then it's a repair job instead of a simple fix.
Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it's subsoil screened of debris, so don't expect grass or plants to take in it directly. Cap the final compacted layer with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting anything. People who skip this step end up with patchy grass and wonder why, when the answer is that the fill underneath was never meant to support root growth on its own.
If you're filling a large low area, order in one larger delivery rather than several small ones, since it's easier to plan your lift schedule when all the material is on site at once. Pair the order with crushed stone underneath if the spot has ever held standing water, since Kannapolis clay drains slowly and a stone base gives water somewhere to go before it pools against your new fill.
Kannapolis sits on red clay that already drains slowly, so when a yard has a low spot it tends to hold water instead of shedding it. Fill dirt gives you a way to raise that grade with a stable base before clay or topsoil goes back on top. Around here it shows up most on foundation backfill jobs, low areas near Dale Earnhardt Tribute Plaza-adjacent neighborhoods with older grading, and pool removals where the hole needs real structural material, not just loose soil pushed back in. Because the clay underneath is already dense, fill dirt compacts well against it once it's placed in proper lifts.
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.
