One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you're building up. For a backfill or low spot repair, measure the area and depth you need to fill, then figure your yardage off the 54 square foot benchmark and adjust up if you're going deeper than 6 inches.

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 finish with a topsoil cap once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt itself isn't meant to grow anything. If you're leveling a yard or building a bed area on top, plan for topsoil delivery right after the fill settles in. Some jobs also pair fill with gravel for drainage layers under patios or walkways.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next. Skipping this on Myers Corner's silt loam is asking for trouble, since silt compacts unevenly when it's wet and the ground will keep settling for a year or two if you just dump it all at once and walk away. A hand tamper works for small areas, a plate compactor for anything larger than a few hundred square feet.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake with fill dirt is treating it as a growing medium. It's subsoil, screened of debris but not fertile, and anything planted directly in it will struggle. Always cap with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting, and give the fill time to settle and compact fully first, especially before spring planting season starts around April 15.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low area, order slightly more than your calculated yardage rather than trying to nail it exactly, since compaction reduces volume by a noticeable amount once you tamp it down. It's more efficient to have a small pile left over for touch ups than to schedule a second small delivery for the last few square feet.

Grading and Filling in Myers Corner

Myers Corner sits on silt loam, a soil that compacts unevenly and settles more than sandy ground when it's disturbed for a pool install or foundation backfill. That settling is exactly why fill dirt gets placed in lifts and compacted, not just dumped and leveled by eye. With a last frost around April 15 and first frost by October 15, most fill projects here run through a fairly tight construction season, so people tend to order once and get the grade right the first time. This isn't topsoil, it's structural material meant to sit under whatever grows or gets built on top.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, used as a structural base to raise grade or backfill voids. Topsoil is the fertile layer on top where plants actually grow. Most projects use fill dirt below and cap it with topsoil where anything needs to grow, since fill dirt on its own won't support plant life well.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill in a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your low spot's square footage and depth, then scale from that number. If you're filling deeper than 6 inches, adjust proportionally, and round up slightly since compaction will reduce the finished volume.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt in Myers Corner?

Fill dirt is project driven, not seasonal, so it can go in any time the ground isn't frozen. With frost typically running from mid October to mid April here, most people schedule fill work outside that window, but if your project is timed right after last frost, that's often when compaction and settling go smoothest.

Answer

Where does the truck place the fill dirt on delivery day?

Wherever you indicate is accessible, usually a driveway or a curbside spot the truck can reach without backing into tight quarters. Make sure the area is clear ahead of time. If your site has narrow access, let us know so delivery can be planned around it.

Answer

Can I use fill dirt instead of gravel for drainage under a patio?

Not really. Fill dirt is meant to raise grade and backfill, but it doesn't drain like gravel does, especially on silt loam ground that already holds water. For drainage layers under patios or walkways, gravel is the better choice, with fill dirt used separately to build up grade elsewhere on the site.
