Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, less if you're going deeper. For a pool backfill or a low yard needing 8 to 12 inches, figure closer to 27 to 40 square feet per yard. Measure the low area, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards rather than guessing by the truckload.

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 structural base, not something to plant into, so most jobs pair it with a topsoil cap for anything that needs to grow. If you're leveling a lawn area, order topsoil for the top few inches. For drainage-sensitive spots near Point Pleasant's flatter, low-lying areas, some contractors also layer in gravel underneath before the fill goes down.
Service area
Fill dirt has to go down in lifts, not one big pour. Spread it in layers of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this in sandy ground like Point Pleasant's and you'll get uneven settling for years, especially after heavy rain works its way through the loose native soil underneath.
The most common mistake on backfill jobs here is treating fill dirt like topsoil and trying to plant grass straight into it. Fill is a structural material with no nutrients or texture for root growth. Always cap it with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil once your grade is set, especially if the area will get turf or landscaping.
Order fill dirt and topsoil as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them yourself on site. It's more efficient to place the structural fill first, compact it in stages, then bring in topsoil once the grade is where you want it. This also keeps your topsoil clean instead of getting mixed with subsoil during spreading.
Point Pleasant sits at 10 feet of elevation with sandy soil that drains fast but also shifts and settles more than clay or loam, especially near the bay side of town. That makes fill dirt useful for leveling low spots that pool water after a nor'easter, backfilling around new pool installs, and building up grade before a patio or shed pad. Because the native soil here is loose to begin with, compaction of the fill layer matters more than it would inland, or the new dirt just migrates into the sand around it. Jobs near Jenkinson's and the boardwalk corridor especially deal with soft, shifting ground that needs a properly built up base.
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.
