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 grading or backfill jobs in this area run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how low the spot is. Measure the length and width of the area you're raising, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything over a couple yards, get it delivered rather than hauling it bag by bag.

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 cap of topsoil once the grade is set, since fill dirt itself won't support grass or plants. Sod or seed goes down after that, and some jobs add a layer of sand underneath pavers or pool decking for drainage before the fill even goes in.

Don't dump fill dirt in one deep pour. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate tamper or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Port Orange's sandy base drains well but skips this step and you'll watch that new grade sink unevenly over a year or two as rain works through it, especially near pool decks where settling shows up fast as cracked pavers.
A common mistake here is trying to grow grass straight on top of fill dirt. It's subsoil, stripped of the organic material lawns need, so cap it with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before sod or seed goes down. Skip that step and you'll get patchy, stressed turf no matter how much you water it through our long growing season.
If you're raising a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top few inches where roots actually live. This costs less overall than filling the whole area with topsoil and it performs better structurally, since fill dirt compacts into a stable base and topsoil doesn't.
Port Orange sits low, only about 20 feet of elevation, and a lot of lots hold water after the summer storms roll through. Sandy native soil drains fast on top but plenty of yards still have soggy low spots or old pool areas that need real elevation change. Fill dirt is what actually corrects that grade, not topsoil, because it compacts into a stable base instead of washing or settling unevenly. People here use it to build up before laying sod or pavers so the new grade actually holds through the wet season.
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.
