About this fill dirt

Inorganic subsoil for filling holes, raising low ground, and backfill. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix, this is structural material and not a growing medium. Do not use it to level a lawn surface or fill flower beds, put topsoil over it for anything you want to plant. Place it in lifts and compact as you go.

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 deep depending on how low the ground sits. Measure the low area's length and width, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards rather than guessing bags, since fill dirt is sold and delivered that way. For a spot low by a foot or more, plan on multiple lifts rather than one deep dump.

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 projects around Russellville finish with a cap of topsoil once the fill is compacted, especially if grass, beds, or a garden go on top. Some jobs also pair fill dirt with gravel or crushed stone underneath a shed or patio base for extra drainage in the tighter clay-silt pockets near the river. Neither is required, it depends on what's going on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Place fill dirt in lifts no deeper than 6 to 8 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Skip this step and you will watch the ground sink for a couple years as it settles unevenly on its own, especially in the heavier silt loam common around Russellville, which holds moisture and settles slower than sandier soils once compacted.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is people trying to plant directly into fill dirt. It is subsoil, screened of debris, but it has none of the organic matter your lawn or beds need. Always cap with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil once your fill is compacted and graded, especially before Russellville's spring planting window closes around early April.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are filling a large low area near Lake Dardanelle or anywhere with a high water table, consider a load of crushed stone or gravel as a base layer before the fill dirt, particularly under sheds or patios. It adds drainage capacity so the fill above stays drier and compacts more predictably through wet seasons.

Grading and Filling in Russellville

Russellville sits at 367 feet in the Arkansas River Valley, and a lot of the ground around Lake Dardanelle and the low-lying parts of town holds water because the native silt loam compacts tight and drains slow. Fill dirt is what people here use to raise those wet spots, level a yard before sod, or build a stable base before a shed or patio. It is not a growing medium, it is structural, so it works underneath topsoil rather than instead of it. With a wet spring and dry late summer typical for this zone, timing your compaction between rain events matters.

What Fill Dirt Is

Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. 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 plant grass or a garden directly in fill dirt?

Not directly. Fill dirt is subsoil meant for structural building up, not growing. Cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil once it's compacted and graded, then plant into that. Skipping the topsoil cap usually means poor germination and patchy growth since fill dirt lacks organic matter.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your low area's length times width, decide how deep it needs to be filled, generally 6 to 12 inches, then calculate volume from there. For a 10x10 foot spot at 6 inches, that's roughly 2 cubic yards.

Answer

Do I need to compact the fill dirt myself?

Yes, compaction is not optional. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding more. Skip this and the ground will keep settling unevenly for a couple years, which is a problem near foundations, pools, or anywhere you plan to build.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the fill dirt?

The driver places the load as close to your project area as your driveway or access point safely allows. Clear a path beforehand and mark your drop zone, especially if you're filling near a foundation or pool where truck access might be tight.

Answer

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No. Fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, used for structural building up like raising grade or backfilling. Topsoil has organic matter for growing. Most projects here use fill dirt to build the base, then cap with topsoil wherever grass, beds, or plants are going in on top.
