Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard spread at 6 inches covers about 54 square feet. Most structural fills run 6 to 12 inches deep, so a 200 square foot low spot at 8 inches would need roughly 8 cubic yards. Measure the area you are raising and the depth you need before ordering, since fill is heavy and overordering costs more than a short trip back.

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 jobs finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is where it needs to be, since fill dirt is not a growing medium and nothing roots well in raw subsoil. If the area will see foot traffic or drainage work, some homeowners also order gravel for a base layer before the topsoil goes on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and walk away. Spread it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, either with a plate compactor or by wetting and tamping in smaller jobs. Skipping this step is why people see sunken spots near foundations or pool decks a year or two later, especially in clay soils like ours that hold water and shift as they dry.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not seasonal the way mulch or sod is, but timing still matters here. Sandy Springs clay gets sticky and hard to compact right after a heavy rain, and the wetter stretch before last frost in late March can turn a delivery site into a mess. Aim for a dry stretch of a few days so you can compact properly instead of packing wet clay that will resettle.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both fill and topsoil, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them on site. Fill dirt is priced and handled as structural bulk material, while topsoil is a finer product meant to support plants. Keeping them separate on the job also makes it easier to place the fill first, compact it properly, and then cap with exactly the topsoil depth you need.

Grading and Filling in Sandy Springs

Sandy Springs sits on red clay that already drains poorly and compacts hard once it is disturbed, so a lot of grading and foundation work here means bringing in fill rather than fighting the native soil. With an elevation around 1093 feet and plenty of slope toward the river corridor, low areas near foundations and pool decks tend to hold water through the wetter months. Builders and homeowners use fill dirt to raise those spots and get positive drainage before anything else goes in. It is structural material, so it sets the stage for the topsoil and turf that actually has to grow in zone 8a.

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 fix low spots in my yard where water collects?

Yes, that is one of the most common uses for it here. Sandy Springs clay drains slowly, so low spots near foundations or pool decks often need raising to get water moving away from the house. Fill dirt provides the mass to build up grade, then you cap it with topsoil if grass or plants need to grow there.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for my project?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure your area and multiply by the depth you need, typically 6 to 12 inches for structural fill. A 300 square foot area at 8 inches works out to roughly 12 cubic yards, so it helps to nail down your square footage before ordering.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt or can I just spread it and leave it?

You need to compact it. Fill dirt should go down in 6 to 8 inch lifts, with each layer compacted before the next goes on, or the ground will keep settling for years, especially in our clay soil that shifts as it wets and dries. This matters most near foundations, pools, or anywhere you plan to build.

Answer

How does delivery work if my driveway is narrow or on a slope?

You choose your delivery date and drop location at checkout, and our truck places the load where you direct on delivery day. Clear a path wide enough for a full size dump truck and let us know if access is tight, since many Sandy Springs lots have sloped or narrow driveways that affect where the truck can safely unload.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for raising my yard?

Use fill dirt for the bulk of the raise, since it is subsoil meant to add structural mass, not support plant growth. Cap it with a few inches of topsoil on top wherever grass, beds, or anything else needs to grow. Using topsoil alone for a deep fill gets expensive and does not compact the same way.”}[/end]
