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 run 6 to 12 inches, so a small low spot might only need a yard or two while a foundation backfill or pool surround can run into double digits. Measure the area you are raising, decide on final depth, and order by the cubic yard so you are not stuck ordering twice mid-project.

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 finish with a topsoil cap once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt itself will not support turf or plantings. If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool, a layer of coarse gravel or drain rock underneath helps with drainage before the fill goes in. Both pair naturally with a fill delivery on the same job site.

Fill dirt is a structural material, not something you spread and walk away from. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this step and La Crosse's silt loam will hold moisture in the loose fill, and you will watch that spot sink for two or three seasons, especially near a foundation where water tends to pool after spring thaw.
A common mistake is topping fill dirt with sod or seed straight away, expecting it to grow like topsoil. It will not, since it is subsoil screened of debris, not organic material. Always cap compacted fill with a few inches of actual topsoil before planting anything. This matters even more here since the growing window is short, running roughly May 15 to October, so you want the cap ready before you lose the season.
If you are filling a large low area, consider ordering fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and reserving topsoil only for the top few inches. This keeps the order efficient since fill dirt does the structural work at lower cost per yard than topsoil, and you are not paying for organic material in a layer that will just get buried anyway.
La Crosse sits low near the Mississippi with silt loam soil that holds water and settles unevenly once disturbed, which is exactly why fill dirt matters here. Foundation backfill, pool surrounds, and low yard corners near Grandad Bluff's runoff paths all need a structural base that will not wash out or slump after a wet spring. With last frost around May 15 and first frost by October 5, most fill projects happen in that window when the ground is workable and you can compact in stages without fighting frozen or saturated soil. This is not a growing medium, it is the base you build on before topsoil goes down.
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.
