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!

Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard spread at a 6 inch depth covers about 54 square feet. For deeper fills, figure your square footage and divide the coverage roughly in half for every additional 6 inches of depth you need. Most foundation backfill or low spot jobs run somewhere between a few yards and a full truckload, depending on how much ground you are raising.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
Most fill jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top, since fill dirt is a structural base and not something meant to grow in directly. If you are capping a low spot that will eventually get sod or a garden bed, plan on 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over the compacted fill. Some customers also order sand for drainage layers around pool decks built on our sandy native ground.

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pour and walk away. Build it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially in Panama City's sandy soil where uncompacted fill will keep settling for a year or two after you think you are done. A hand tamper works for small areas, but rent a plate compactor for anything larger than a pool deck edge.
The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant straight into it. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, so grass and roots struggle. Cap any finished fill area with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or sodding, and keep that distinction in mind when you are budgeting yardage for the whole job.
If your project touches both fill and topsoil, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them on site, it keeps your compaction lifts clean and your topsoil uncontaminated. Timing both deliveries a few days apart also gives you room to compact the fill properly before the finish layer goes down, instead of rushing the whole job in one afternoon.
Panama City sits at 26 feet of elevation with sandy soil underneath most yards, which drains fast but also shifts and settles more than clay ever would. That means low spots near foundations and pool decks tend to reappear a season or two after a quick patch job. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to build up those areas properly, in compacted lifts, before you cap with topsoil or sod. It is the material people here reach for before a slab pour, a shed pad, or a pool installation rather than a spring planting project.
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.
