One cubic yard of this fill covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs call for 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area is. Measure the square footage of the space you are filling, decide on depth based on how much you need to raise the grade, and order in full cubic yards since partial loads are not practical to deliver. For larger backfill jobs around a foundation or pool, it is worth measuring twice since underordering means a second delivery.

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.

Fill dirt is a structural base, not something you plant into, so most jobs cap it with a few inches of topsoil once the fill is compacted and settled. If you are building up a low area before landscaping, ordering topsoil for the same delivery window saves a second trip. Some Pittsfield customers also add crushed stone underneath fill near foundations or driveways for extra drainage given how heavy the local till already holds water.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Skipping this step is the number one reason fill settles unevenly over a year or two, especially once frost works through it each winter. On glacial till sites where the base is already uneven, compacting lift by lift keeps your finished grade from developing dips.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
People often forget that fill dirt is not meant to grow anything and cap it too thin. Give yourself at least 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil on top before seeding or planting, more if you are putting in a garden bed. Thin topsoil over compacted fill drains fast and starves roots, which shows up as patchy grass the following summer, right when you think the job is finished.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are filling a large low spot, it is often cheaper overall to use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and reserve topsoil only for the top few inches where roots actually live. Trying to fill everything with topsoil costs more and compacts poorly since topsoil has organic material that breaks down and settles unevenly over time, which fill dirt does not.
Grading and Filling in Pittsfield
Pittsfield sits on glacial till, a dense mix of clay, sand, and stone left behind by the ice sheets, and it does not drain or compact the way a uniform soil would. That makes fill dirt a common need here, whether you are leveling ground near Arrowhead's old farm fields or squaring up a foundation on a sloped city lot. With frost reaching deep by the time temperatures drop toward that October 7 first frost, any fill that is not compacted properly will heave and settle once winter freeze cycles start working on it. Getting the base right before the ground freezes matters more here than in milder climates.
What Clean Fill Is
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 vs Topsoil
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.
Compact in Lifts
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.
