One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how much grade you're correcting. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For a foundation backfill or a sunken yard section, it's usually cheaper to slightly overestimate than to order twice.

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.
Fill dirt is a base material, so most projects cap it with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially anywhere grass or plants need to grow. If you're backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, gravel underneath for drainage is worth considering before the fill goes in. Either way, the fill does the heavy lifting and the topsoil finishes the job.

Parkersburg's silt clay doesn't drain fast, so if you're filling a low spot that collects water, don't just dump and grade. Place fill dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts 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 sank again, especially over a wet clay base that never fully firmed up underneath.
Fill dirt is not something to spread and plant into. It's subsoil, screened of debris but stripped of the organic matter that plants need. Once you've built up and compacted your grade, cap it with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or landscaping. Skipping the topsoil layer is a common mistake that leaves new grass struggling in dense, nutrient poor subsoil all season.
If your project spans a full growing season, timing your fill delivery around Parkersburg's frost window matters less than you'd think, since fill dirt work isn't weather sensitive like planting. What matters more is scheduling it before your topsoil and sod arrive, so the base has time to settle and get a second compaction pass before you finish the surface layer.
Parkersburg sits low along the Ohio River with silt clay soil that holds water and settles unevenly once it's disturbed. That combination shows up on job sites as soggy low corners, sunken areas near foundations, and yards that need real elevation change before anything else can happen. Fill dirt is the structural fix for that, not a growing medium, so it goes down first and gets capped later. Homeowners near Blennerhassett Island and older river-adjacent properties often deal with this more than folks on higher ground across town.
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.
