How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
Fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so a load adds up fast once you are filling more than a small low spot. One cubic yard covers roughly 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much grade you are correcting. Measure the low area, decide your target depth, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags.

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 set, especially if grass or beds are going in on top. If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, a layer of sand or crushed stone at the base can help with drainage before the fill goes in. Ask about topsoil delivery for the same trip if you know you will need it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Never dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next, especially over Shreveport's clay loam, which already moves with wet and dry cycles. Skipping compaction means the ground keeps settling for years, showing up as dips near foundations or low spots reappearing after the next hard rain.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is treating fill dirt as a growing medium. It is subsoil, screened of debris but not fertile, and grass or plants struggle directly in it. Always cap finished fill with several inches of real topsoil where anything needs to grow, and save the fill itself for the structural work underneath, raising grade, backfilling, or building a base before hardscape.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are filling a large low area, order slightly more than your calculated volume rather than making a second trip, since compaction eats into your finished depth more than people expect. Pairing one bulk fill delivery with a topsoil cap in the same project cuts down on repeat deliveries and gets your grade finished in one pass instead of two.
Grading and Filling in Shreveport
Shreveport sits on clay loam that holds water and swells and shrinks with the seasons, which is exactly why low spots and settling foundations are common here. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to correct grade before that clay causes more problems, whether you are leveling a yard near the Municipal Auditorium area or building up a low corner near a new pool. At 164 feet elevation drainage is often lazy, so raising problem areas with compacted fill matters more here than in hillier towns. This is structural material, meant to be built up and compacted, not spread and left.
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.
