One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 10 foot low spot needs roughly 2 yards to bring it level. For deeper fills, figure your square footage and depth first, since fill dirt compacts down and you may need more than the raw math suggests. It's sold by the cubic yard, so order based on the finished, compacted volume you actually want.

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.

Most fill jobs in New Bedford get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if lawn or landscaping goes on top. If you're building up around a foundation or pool, a layer of crushed stone underneath can help with drainage before the fill goes in. Mulch or bark comes later, once the growing layer is down.

Fill dirt is a structural material, not something you spread and walk away from. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor before adding the next. Skip this step and the ground keeps settling for years, which shows up as a sunken patch near a foundation or under a patio long after you've forgotten you filled it.
The most common mistake we see is people using fill dirt as if it were topsoil and planting straight into it. It has none of the organic matter or structure that roots need. Once your fill is graded and compacted to the level you want, cap it with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or planting anything on top.
If you're filling a large area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil for just the top layer, since topsoil costs more per yard and you don't need its quality buried two feet down. This is standard practice on foundation backfill and pool removals around New Bedford, where the fill volume can run into double digit yards.
New Bedford sits at a modest 30 feet of elevation, and a lot of the older neighborhoods near the waterfront have low spots that hold water after a heavy nor'easter. Fill dirt is what people here use to raise that ground before building on it, not to grow anything in. With sandy loam as the native soil, drainage usually isn't the problem, grade is. Bring the low spots up to match the rest of the yard and cap with topsoil if grass or plantings go on top.
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 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.
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.
