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, and most fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area sits. Measure the length and width of the low spot, decide how many inches you need to raise it, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags. For anything over a foot deep, plan on building it up in lifts rather than dumping it all at once.

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 once the grade is set, especially if grass or landscaping goes on top afterward. If the area near the Glacial Drumlin Trail or a low backyard corner needs drainage help too, a base layer of gravel under the fill can keep water from pooling again. Compaction equipment, even a rented plate compactor, pairs with any fill order over a few yards.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Compact fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts, not all at once. In New Berlin's silt loam, a deep pile of loose fill left uncompacted will keep settling for a year or more, especially through spring thaw after the ground freezes hard by late fall. Water each lift lightly and tamp it with a plate compactor before adding the next layer. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch by the following spring.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not a growing medium, so do not plant directly into it. Once your grade is where you want it, cap the fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or planting. This matters more in New Berlin than in sandier areas, since silt loam subsoil compacts dense enough that roots struggle to push through it without a proper topsoil layer on top.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, order fill dirt for the bulk of the volume and save topsoil for just the top few inches, since topsoil costs more per yard and does not need to go any deeper than root depth. This two material approach on a typical backfill job uses less topsoil overall and gets the compaction right where it matters most, at the base.
Grading and Filling in New Berlin
New Berlin sits on silt loam soil that drains slower than sand and compacts differently than clay, which matters when you are filling a low spot that has been collecting water for years. This fill dirt is subsoil, screened of roots and debris, meant to be compacted in place rather than planted into directly. Around here it gets used for pool backfill, leveling ground before a shed pad, and raising yards that slope toward foundations. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is set if grass or beds are going 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.
