How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 20 by 20 foot low spot needing 6 inches runs close to 7.5 cubic yards. For backfill around a foundation or pool wall, measure the void in cubic feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then add a bit extra since fill settles as it compacts. Because this is sold by the yard, it pays to measure twice, the material is heavy and nobody wants a second delivery for a shortfall.

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 is not meant to grow anything. If the area will see foot traffic or drainage, a layer of crushed stone under the fill near a foundation wall helps water move away instead of pooling against it. Pairing fill with topsoil in the same delivery is common for anyone leveling a yard before seeding.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Glacial till sites in Nashua often have buried stone within the first foot or two, so before you order fill dirt to raise a low spot, dig a test hole to see what you are building on. If there is loose rock or old debris under the low spot, pull it out first, fill placed over unstable ground will settle unevenly no matter how well you compact the new material.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake on backfill jobs is dumping the full depth in one pass and walking away. Place fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate tamper before adding the next, otherwise you get a soft spot that keeps sinking for a year or two, especially once Nashua's spring thaw saturates whatever did not compact right the first time.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt and topsoil are not the same product and mixing up the order costs money. Use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth since it is cheaper by the yard, then cap the last few inches with topsoil only where grass or plants need to grow, no sense paying for growing medium under a foundation or patio base.
Grading and Filling in Nashua
Glacial till under most Nashua lots means native soil is a mix of clay, sand, and stone that does not compact evenly on its own, which is exactly the problem fill dirt solves when you bring in a consistent, screened material instead. People here use it to level yards near Mine Falls Park where the ground slopes toward the river, to raise low spots that hold water through spring thaw, and to backfill foundations before the frost line settles the ground again. With a last frost near May 20 and first frost around Oct 3, most fill projects happen in that window when the ground is workable and lifts can be compacted properly.
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.
