How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
Fill dirt weighs around 1.3 tons per cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Most jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you are raising the grade, so a small low spot might take 2 to 3 yards while a larger backfill area around a foundation can run into double digits. Measure the square footage of the area first, then decide how many inches you need to add before ordering.

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 dirt jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top, since fill is not meant to grow anything on its own. If you are backfilling near a patio or driveway, a base material like crushed limestone can go underneath for extra stability before the fill goes in. Mulch or sod usually comes last, once the graded area has settled and the topsoil cap is down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Place fill dirt in lifts no deeper than 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason yards in low lying areas like Moss Bluff keep settling for years after the fact. A hand tamper works for small spots, but anything larger than a patio footprint really needs a plate compactor, which most equipment rental yards carry by the day.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Do not cap fill dirt with topsoil right after a heavy rain. The silt loam common around Moss Bluff already holds moisture, and adding topsoil on top of wet fill traps water and slows settling even further. Give the fill a few dry days to firm up first, then cap it. This is especially true from late winter into spring when rain is more frequent here.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are filling a large low area, order in two smaller deliveries scheduled a week or two apart rather than one big load. This lets you compact and check your grade between lifts instead of guessing at depth on a single mountain of dirt, and it is easier to manage on a residential lot where storage space is limited.
Grading and Filling in Moss Bluff
Moss Bluff sits at low elevation, only about 20 feet, and the native silt loam holds water once it gets saturated, so low areas near the house or yard can stay soft for days after rain. Fill dirt is what people here use to raise those spots above the surrounding grade before they ever think about grass or landscaping. It is common around foundations and pool decks too, where the ground settles over time and needs building back up. Because this is subsoil, not topsoil, it will not support planting on its own, it is the structural base underneath.
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.
