Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. For most Lambertville jobs, plan on a 6 to 12 inch install depth depending on how low the area is, then work backward from your square footage to figure yardage. A pool backfill or foundation area often runs higher than a simple low spot fill, so measure the deepest point separately.

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.

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 in this area finish with a cap of topsoil once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt alone won't support grass or plantings. If you're building up a low area that will eventually be lawn, order topsoil for the top few inches. Mulch or compost isn't part of this stage, that comes later once grade and drainage are sorted.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't fill in one shot. Spread fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or by driving equipment over it before adding the next layer. Skip this step and the silt loam base underneath combined with an uncompacted fill layer means you'll be watching that spot sink for two or three years, especially after freeze thaw cycles through a Michigan winter work the ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is treating fill dirt as the finished surface. It's subsoil, screened of debris but not fertile, so nothing will grow well directly in it. Once your fill is compacted to grade, cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before seeding or sodding. Skipping the cap means patchy grass and a lot of reseeding frustration next spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, it's more cost efficient than filling the whole depth with topsoil. Pair the order with the topsoil delivery on the same trip if your project timeline allows, since scheduling both together saves a second delivery fee.

Grading and Filling in Lambertville

Silt loam holds water longer than sandy soils, which is part of why low areas around Lambertville tend to stay soft or puddle after spring melt near the last frost date in late April. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to build those areas up before topsoil or sod goes down. With an elevation around 670 feet and generally flat suburban lots typical of this Toledo metro area, drainage direction matters more than grade steepness, so filled areas need to be built up gradually and compacted, not just dumped and leveled. This is structural material for correcting the ground, not a growing medium on its own.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to fix a low spot in my yard that holds water?

Yes, that's one of the most common uses for it here. Fill the low area in compacted 6 to 8 inch lifts up to grade, then cap with topsoil if you want grass to grow there. Skipping compaction is the main reason low spots come back after a season or two.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill around a pool?

It depends on the depth of the excavation and the perimeter you're backfilling, but a rough approach is to calculate the cubic footage of the gap and divide by 27 to get yards. Most residential pool backfills in Lambertville run anywhere from a few yards to over a dozen depending on pool size, so measure the void carefully before ordering.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before winter?

Aim to finish grading and compacting before the ground starts freezing, which around here is typically before mid October. Working the soil after that gets harder and compaction is less effective in cold, wet silt loam. If your project runs into fall, get the fill placed and capped before the first frost date closes the window.

Answer

Do you deliver fill dirt if my driveway is narrow or hard to access?

We can usually work with tighter driveways, but let us know your access constraints so the load gets placed where you can actually use it. Clear overhanging branches or parked cars along the delivery path ahead of time, since trucks need a straight, obstacle free approach.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for raising my whole yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth since it's denser and meant for structural buildup, then cap the top 4 to 6 inches with topsoil where grass or plants need to grow. Using topsoil for the entire depth costs more and doesn't compact as reliably as fill dirt does underneath.
