At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, and at a full 12 inch lift that drops to roughly 27 square feet per yard. Most structural fill jobs, foundation backfill, low spot correction, pre-grade work, run 6 to 12 inches deep, so measure the low area in square feet and divide by the coverage number for your target depth. Order in full cubic yard increments since this is sold and delivered by the yard.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Most fill dirt jobs around here finish with a cap of screened topsoil once the grade is set, since fill alone will not support turf or planting beds. If the project touches a foundation or a low corner near the marsh side of a lot, a layer of crushed stone underneath for drainage is worth considering before the fill goes in. Compaction equipment, even a simple hand tamper, is the other thing people forget until the ground starts settling.
Service area
Place fill dirt in lifts no deeper than 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people call us back a year later asking why their yard has a sunken patch. In Newburyport's silty loam, uncompacted fill holds moisture and settles unevenly, especially near foundations where standing water is already a concern.
Fill dirt is not a growing medium and will not support grass or plantings on its own. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of screened topsoil once your grade is set, and do this before the first frost if you want anything seeded before spring. With last frost around May 13 here, a fall fill job followed by spring topsoil and seed is a reliable sequence.
If you are filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer where roots actually need it. Mixing the two wastes topsoil's value, since anything more than a few inches down does nothing for plant growth. This split keeps the project practical without cutting corners on the parts that matter for drainage or planting.
Newburyport sits low near the Merrimack and the marshes out toward Plum Island, and a lot of lots here hold water longer than people expect given the silty loam base. Fill dirt is what raises those wet corners and low yard sections above grade so water moves away from the house instead of sitting. It is also what goes in first around foundations and pool decks before anyone thinks about topsoil or lawn. Because the native soil here compacts slowly on its own, this material has to be placed in lifts and compacted by hand or machine, not just dumped and left.
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.
