One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs here run 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you're raising the grade. Measure your low spot's length and width, decide your target depth, and that gives you the yardage to order. For bigger pool backfills or pad builds, we're happy to help you check the math before you order.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a layer of topsoil where anything needs to grow, since fill dirt itself won't support plants or turf. If the graded area will see foot traffic or drainage flow, a base layer of crushed shell or gravel underneath can help stabilize things further, especially in Port St Lucie's sandy ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt has to be compacted in 6 to 8 inch lifts, not dumped in all at once. In Port St Lucie's sandy conditions, uncompacted fill will settle unevenly over the first year or two, especially near foundations and pool decks where that shifting can crack concrete later. Rent a plate compactor for anything larger than a small yard fix, and compact each lift before adding the next one, even if it slows the job down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is skipping the topsoil cap because the grade looks finished. Fill dirt has none of the organic matter or nutrients that grass and plants need, so if you seed or sod directly on top, it usually fails within a season. Budget for a 3 to 4 inch topsoil layer over any area that needs to grow something, even if the fill dirt work itself is done.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're backfilling around a pool or foundation in Port St Lucie, order fill dirt and topsoil together rather than as two separate deliveries weeks apart. It saves a second delivery fee and lets you compact the fill and cap it with topsoil in one continuous project window, which matters more here since afternoon storms can delay outdoor work for days at a time.

Grading and Filling in Port St Lucie

Port St Lucie's sandy soil drains fast but it also shifts and settles, which is exactly the problem fill dirt is built to solve when you're raising a low spot or leveling ground near Savannas Preserve and other wetland-adjacent lots. A lot of the jobs we deliver for here are pool decks, shed pads, and low corners of a yard that pond up after a Treasure Coast downpour. This isn't topsoil and it isn't meant to grow anything, it's structural material that gets compacted in lifts to build a stable base. Once the grade is right, a cap of topsoil goes on top wherever grass or plants need to take hold.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to level my yard where water pools after it rains?

Yes, that's one of the most common uses we deliver for in Port St Lucie. Fill dirt raises low spots so water drains away instead of collecting, but it needs to be compacted in layers as you build up the grade, and capped with topsoil if you want grass to grow back over it.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a 200 square foot low spot?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so a 200 square foot area needs roughly 4 cubic yards. If you're going deeper, say 12 inches, you'd need close to 8 cubic yards. Round up slightly since the material compacts down once you work it.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt myself or does it settle on its own?

It needs to be compacted, it won't settle evenly on its own. Spread and compact it in 6 to 8 inch lifts, especially near a foundation, pool, or shed pad, or you'll get uneven sinking over the following year or two. A rented plate compactor handles most residential jobs fine.

Answer

Where will the truck place the fill dirt on delivery day?

The driver places the load wherever you direct, typically your driveway or the closest flat spot with clear truck access. Delivery timing is scheduled at checkout, and it helps to have your access route clear and your work area marked out before the truck arrives.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for backfilling around my pool?

Fill dirt is the right call for the bulk backfill since it's structural and compacts to a stable base, while topsoil is meant for growing and shouldn't be used to fill large volumes. Many Port St Lucie customers order both, fill dirt for the bulk of the backfill and a thinner topsoil cap on top for grass.
