Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 10 area getting filled to 6 inches runs close to two yards. Since fill dirt weighs around 1.3 tons per cubic yard, this adds up fast on larger jobs, so measure your low spot's length, width, and how many inches you need to bring it up before ordering. For anything over a foot of depth, plan on multiple lifts rather than one big pour.

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.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill jobs around here get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the fill is compacted, especially if grass or plantings are going back in. If the project involves a pool or patio base, a compactable base material can go under the fill dirt for extra stability. Either way, order the topsoil or base material at the same time so everything arrives together.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt should go down in 6 to 8 inch lifts, with each layer compacted before the next goes on. Skipping this step is the number one reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard sank near the foundation or pool wall. In sandy loam like what's common in Massapequa Park, compaction actually goes faster than in clay, but it still can't be skipped, even under a light plate compactor.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Don't plant directly into fill dirt. It's subsoil, stripped of the organic matter that lets roots and microbes do their thing, so grass and plants will struggle or fail outright. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil once it's compacted and graded to final height. This is the step people skip when they're trying to save a delivery, and it shows within a season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated volume, especially on a lift-by-lift job, since compaction settles material down by a noticeable margin between layers. Buying fill dirt and topsoil together in one delivery window is usually more efficient than spacing them out, since the topsoil goes down right after the final compacted lift while the grade is still fresh and easy to work.

Grading and Filling in Massapequa Park

Massapequa Park's sandy loam drains fast but doesn't always sit at the elevation people want, especially on the flatter lots near the Preserve where water can pool after storms. Fill dirt gets used here to bring low yards up to grade, close gaps around pool installs, and build a stable base before topsoil goes on top. Because the native soil is sandy, tying new fill into the existing grade with proper compaction matters more than it would in a heavier clay soil. At 23 feet elevation, drainage direction is worth thinking through before you dump and grade.

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 raise a low spot in my yard where water pools after rain?

Yes, that's one of the most common uses for it. Bring the area up in 6 to 8 inch compacted lifts, then cap with topsoil if grass or plants are going back in. Given how flat parts of Massapequa Park run, especially near the Preserve, proper compaction matters so the fix holds instead of resettling.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 200 square foot low spot?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards, call it 4 to allow for compaction settling. If you need a full 12 inches, double that to around 7 to 8 yards.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to bring in fill dirt here?

Fill dirt is project driven rather than seasonal, so timing depends more on your job than the calendar. That said, working between the last frost around April 15 and first frost around November 8 makes compaction and grading easier since the ground isn't frozen. Wet spring stretches can also make compaction trickier in sandy loam.

Answer

Where will the truck put the fill dirt on delivery day?

We place the load wherever you mark out, typically a driveway or the flattest, closest spot to your work area, since fill dirt is heavy and you don't want to wheelbarrow it far. Clear the space ahead of time and make sure there's enough overhead and width clearance for a delivery truck.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for building up my yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth, it's cheaper by the yard and meant for structural buildup, not growing. Cap the final 4 to 6 inches with topsoil if anything needs to grow there. Using topsoil for the whole depth wastes money on a material that isn't built for compaction the way fill dirt is.
