How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
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 plan on two yards per 54 square feet if you're going deeper. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags, since fill jobs are usually bigger than they look from the porch.

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 grade is where you want it, since fill dirt itself isn't meant to grow anything. If you're building up before a patio or shed pad, a layer of crushed gravel on top of the compacted fill gives you a firmer base than dirt alone. Either pairs easily with a fill delivery on the same job.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt has to go down in lifts, not one big dump. Spread it in layers 6 to 8 inches deep and compact each one before adding the next, with a plate compactor or hand tamper for smaller jobs. Skip this and the pile looks fine for a season, then settles unevenly once frost works through it over a Marshfield winter, leaving dips right where you least want them, next to a foundation or under a walkway.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake is treating fill dirt as topsoil and trying to plant straight into it. It's subsoil, screened of debris but stripped of the organic matter that makes silt loam productive here. Cap any area where grass, shrubs, or a garden bed is going with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil after the fill is compacted, otherwise you'll fight poor drainage and weak growth for years.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're raising a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, mixing the two wastes money since topsoil costs more per yard and fill does the structural job just as well underneath. This pairing also cuts down on total truck trips if you order both for the same delivery window.
Grading and Filling in Marshfield
Marshfield's silt loam drains slowly compared to sandier soils, which means low spots around Hub City hold water well into spring and stay soft. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to raise that grade above the water table before anything else goes on top. With a last frost around May 26 and frost heave a real concern through winter, uncompacted fill will settle and crack whatever sits on it, patios, sheds, walkways. Local builders who backfill around foundations near older homes, some close to the Upham Mansion era of construction, know the ground here needs to be built up in stages, not dumped and walked away from.
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.
