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, which is the low end of the typical 6 to 12 inch install range for most leveling and backfill jobs. If you're filling deeper, say 12 inches, plan on roughly half that coverage per yard. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in full cubic yard increments since it's sold and delivered that way.

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 Spring Hill get capped with a few inches of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if sod or planting beds go on top. If you're backfilling around a pool deck or foundation, a layer of sand on top of the compacted fill can help with final leveling before pavers or concrete. None of this is required, but it's how most local crews finish the job.

Fill dirt is not a growing medium, it's structural. In Spring Hill's sandy ground, 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 step and you'll be watching that low spot reappear over the next year or two as the fill settles unevenly under its own weight, especially after our summer rainy season.
A common mistake is filling right up to grade and planting or sodding directly into it. Fill dirt drains and holds nutrients poorly compared to actual topsoil, so anything rooted straight into it tends to struggle. Cap your compacted fill with 3 to 4 inches of topsoil before grass or beds go in, even if it adds a step to the project.
If you're raising a large area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top layer, since topsoil costs more per yard and doesn't need to be used where nothing is growing. This split is especially useful on bigger backfill jobs around pool cages or slabs where most of the volume is just structural buildup.
Spring Hill sits at only about 75 feet of elevation with mostly sandy soil, which drains fast but doesn't hold a grade well once you dig into it or build up around a slab. That combination is why so many jobs here involve leveling a low corner of the lot or raising ground around a pool cage or foundation before it settles wrong. Because this is subsoil, not topsoil, it compacts into a stable base rather than washing out the way loose sand does. Cap it with topsoil once the grade is where you want it, especially if grass or landscaping goes on top.
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.
