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!

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 you're raising the grade. If you're backfilling around a foundation or leveling a low spot in the yard, measure the area and the depth you need, then order in cubic yards since that's how it's sold and delivered here.

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 in Paterson finish with a cap of screened topsoil once the grade is set, since fill dirt itself isn't meant to grow anything. If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation, a layer of crushed stone underneath for drainage is common before the fill goes in, especially given how heavy the local till loam holds water.
Fill dirt is structural, not a growing medium, so don't skip compaction. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, especially over Paterson's glacial till loam which already holds moisture and can shift if the fill underneath isn't settled. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see sunken spots or cracked concrete a year or two after backfilling around a foundation or pool.
A common mistake is grading straight to topsoil without a fill layer first, which leaves low spots that pond after every rain, a real issue given how slow this area's dense soil drains. Build the grade with fill dirt to within a few inches of finish height, compact it, then cap with topsoil last. Doing it in that order saves you from redoing the whole yard later.
If you're filling a large area, order slightly more than your calculation since compaction settles the material down by a noticeable margin, sometimes 10 to 15 percent. It's cheaper to have a little extra on site than to schedule a second delivery for a small top-off, especially once equipment and access points are already set up.
Paterson sits at a modest 85 feet elevation but the terrain around the Great Falls and the older neighborhoods built up from it means a lot of lots have uneven grading, old fill, or low spots that collect water. Glacial till loam underneath is dense and doesn't drain fast, so raising low ground with proper fill matters more here than in sandier areas. This material is meant to build structure under a project, foundations, pool decks, low yards, not to grow anything on its own. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is where you want it.
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.
