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 grade you are correcting. Measure the low area's length and width, decide on your depth, and order in cubic yards rather than trying to eyeball it with bags. For anything over a couple hundred square feet, delivered bulk fill is the only practical option.

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

Fill dirt is a base, not a finish, so most orders in River Falls get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially anywhere grass or plantings will go back in. If you are backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, a layer of gravel underneath the fill can help with drainage before you build up. Ask about pairing loads if you know you will need both.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people end up with a sunken patch a year later, especially over River Falls' silt loam, which compresses more than sandy soil once it's wet. A plate compactor rented for an afternoon does more for long term stability than any amount of extra material.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it is structural. If you are building up a bed or lawn area, cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before planting anything. Skipping the cap and planting straight into subsoil is a common mistake that leads to poor drainage and stunted roots, especially in a zone 4b climate where root systems already have a short season to establish.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project spans both structural fill and finish grading, order the fill and topsoil together when you can. Staging both loads close to the work area cuts down on wheelbarrow trips, and you avoid paying for two separate deliveries when your grading plan is set from the start.

Grading and Filling in River Falls

River Falls sits on silt loam that holds water well but can get soft and uneven where grading has settled over the years, especially on lots that slope toward the Kinnickinnic gorge. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to correct that low ground before anything else goes on top. With frost reaching deep into the ground by the October 7 average first frost, unsettled fill can heave and shift over winter if it is not compacted right the first time. This is why most of our River Falls orders go toward foundation backfill and pool surrounds ahead of the fall freeze.

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

Answer

What exactly is fill dirt, and is it the same as topsoil?

No, fill dirt is subsoil from excavation, screened of rocks and debris, and it has little to no organic content. Topsoil is meant to grow things, fill dirt is meant to build structural grade. In River Falls we sell it for raising low ground, backfilling foundations, and building up before a topsoil cap goes on.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need to level my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure your low area, decide how deep you need to fill, usually 6 to 12 inches for most yard work, and divide your square footage by the coverage rate for that depth to get your yard count.

Answer

Can I install fill dirt myself, or does it need heavy equipment?

Smaller jobs, under a few yards, are manageable by hand with a wheelbarrow and a hand tamper or rented plate compactor. Larger backfill jobs around foundations or pools go faster with a skid steer. The key step either way is compacting in 6 to 8 inch lifts, not dumping it all at once.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the fill dirt?

The truck dumps the load wherever you direct on your property, as long as there's clear access for a full size delivery truck. Driveways and curbside spots work well. Delivery timing is scheduled at checkout, so you'll know your date before the truck ever shows up.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or crushed gravel for backfilling near my foundation?

Fill dirt works for general grade raising and backfill where drainage isn't the main concern, while gravel handles water better right against a foundation wall. Many River Falls jobs use gravel as the base layer near the wall and fill dirt to build up the rest of the yard grade above it.
