Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how low the area is. For a 200 square foot low spot going in at 8 inches, plan on roughly 5 cubic yards, and round up rather than down since compaction will settle it. Sold strictly by the cubic yard, so measure your area and depth before ordering.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Most fill dirt jobs in Palm Coast get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if sod or planting beds are going in after. If the area needs to shed water instead of hold it, a layer of drainage gravel underneath the fill can help before you build up. Either way, order the cap material separately since fill dirt itself isn't meant to grow anything.

In Palm Coast's sandy soil, fill dirt that goes in dry and loose will settle unevenly for months, sometimes years, especially after the heavier rains that hit in summer. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken patch by their pool deck a year later.
A common mistake is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, which is exactly what you want for a stable base but the opposite of what roots need. Always cap finished fill with 3 to 4 inches of real topsoil before seeding, sodding, or planting anything on top.
If you're backfilling around a new pool shell or foundation in Palm Coast's sandy soil, order slightly more than your calculated volume, since sandy subgrade often needs a bit of extra fill to stabilize edges that shift during backfilling. It's cheaper to have a little extra on site than to schedule a second delivery for one more yard.
Palm Coast's native soil is sandy, which drains fast but also settles fast and shifts under structures if it isn't compacted properly. With the city sitting at only 10 feet of elevation, low spots in yards near canals and swales tend to pond after the summer storms that roll through zone 9b. Fill dirt is what people here use to raise those low areas, backfill around new pools and slabs, and build a stable base before topsoil or sod goes on top. It's a structural fix, not a garden amendment, which matters in a place where the water table is close to the surface.
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.
