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 structural fill jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you're raising the grade. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there, rounding up rather than down since a short load means a return trip.
Couldn't load pickup availability
We hand-pick and partner with the best yards in your region, keep only the ones our buyers rate well, and back each load with our guarantee.
If your fill dirt isn't the quantity or quality you ordered, we'll make it right.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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 in Sheboygan get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if grass or beds are going back in over the spot. If the area needs to shed water fast, some contractors add a layer of coarse gravel underneath the fill for drainage before backfilling. Either way, plan those materials as a separate order sized to the same footprint.

Don't dump fill dirt in one deep pour. Spread it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Skip this in Sheboygan's clay loam and the fill will settle unevenly over a season or two, especially once frost works into it. It takes longer up front but it's the difference between a stable pad and a sunken spot you're patching again next spring.
The most common mistake with fill dirt around here is treating it like topsoil and trying to plant directly into it. It's subsoil, low in organic matter and dense once compacted, so grass and plants struggle in it. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or planting anything, even if it adds a step to the project.
If you're filling a large low spot, pair fill dirt with a cheaper coarse base material for the bulk of the depth and save the fill for the top few inches near finish grade. It cuts material cost on big jobs and still gives you a stable, compactable surface. This matters more on lakeside lots here where drainage below grade is already sluggish.
Sheboygan sits on clay loam that already drains slowly, so any low spot near a foundation, patio, or pool pad tends to stay wet longer than people expect. Fill dirt is the fix for that, it's a structural base, not something you plant into, and it needs to go down in compacted lifts so it doesn't settle unevenly over the next few winters. With frost reaching deep by the time temperatures drop in late October, uncompacted fill here can heave or settle badly through freeze-thaw cycles. Get the grade right before the ground freezes and you avoid redoing it in spring.
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.
