About this fill dirt

Inorganic subsoil for filling holes, raising low ground, and backfill. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix, this is structural material and not a growing medium. Do not use it to level a lawn surface or fill flower beds, put topsoil over it for anything you want to plant. Place it in lifts and compact as you go.

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you're raising the grade. Measure the low area, decide how many inches you need to bring it up, and order in cubic yards from there. For bigger jobs, like backfilling around a foundation or leveling a slough-adjacent lot, it's worth erring slightly over rather than short, since a second delivery costs more than a little extra material sitting on site.

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 Marysville finish with a topsoil cap since fill dirt itself won't support planting. If you're leveling a yard before sod or a garden bed, pairing a fill delivery with topsoil on a second order sets you up right. Compactable base gravel is also common where fill goes in under a patio or shed pad.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Marysville's silt loam holds water longer than sandy soils, so if you're filling a low spot near Ebey Slough or anywhere with a high water table, compact each 6 to 8 inch lift before adding the next one. Skipping this step is the number one reason fill settles unevenly a year or two later, leaving dips right where you didn't want them, especially under patios or sheds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not soil for planting, it's subsoil screened of debris and meant to be structural. A common mistake is spreading it and calling the job done. Always cap with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil if grass, shrubs, or a garden bed is going on top, otherwise you'll fight poor drainage and stunted growth for seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project also needs topsoil or gravel, ordering them together often saves a separate delivery trip and truck access hassle, especially on tighter Marysville lots near mature trees or fencing. Plan the full job, fill first, then base material or topsoil, before placing your first order so you're not guessing quantities twice.

Grading and Filling in Marysville

At 20 feet of elevation and close to Ebey Slough, plenty of yards in Marysville sit low and stay soggy well past the last frost in April. Silt loam compacts differently than sand or clay, it holds moisture but doesn't always drain it, which is exactly why fill dirt gets used to raise problem spots before a patio, shed, or planting bed goes in. This is not a growing medium, it is structural material for getting the grade right first. Once it's compacted and capped with topsoil, the rest of the project can go in without the ground shifting on you later.

What Fill Dirt Is

Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. 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 level my backyard before putting in a lawn?

Yes, that's one of the most common uses. Spread and compact the fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts to reach your target grade, then cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil before seeding or laying sod. Skipping the topsoil cap means grass will struggle since fill dirt is subsoil, not a growing medium.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to raise a 500 square foot area by 6 inches?

At 54 square feet of coverage per cubic yard at 6 inches deep, 500 square feet needs a little over 9 cubic yards. Round up to account for compaction settling, so ordering 10 to 11 cubic yards is a safer bet than cutting it close.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt in Marysville?

Fill dirt is a project timeline decision, not a seasonal one, since it's not planted material. That said, working in drier stretches between the April last frost and October first frost makes compaction easier, since silt loam gets heavy and harder to work when saturated.

Answer

Will the delivery truck be able to access my property?

Most residential driveways and street access work fine, but narrow gates, low branches, or soft ground can limit where the truck can place the load. Let us know about any tight spots when you order so delivery lands as close to your work area as possible.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

If you're raising grade, backfilling a foundation, or building up a base, fill dirt is the right call since it's denser and meant to compact. Topsoil comes after, as a cap where anything needs to actually grow. Most grading projects need both, fill dirt underneath and topsoil on top.
