One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and this material typically goes in anywhere from 6 to 12 inches depending on how much you need to raise the grade. For a foundation backfill or a low spot in the yard, measure the area and the depth you need, then figure your yardage from there rather than guessing. Since it runs about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, larger orders add up in weight fast, so it helps to know your total before you order.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Most fill jobs in Springfield end with a layer of topsoil on top, since fill dirt alone will not support grass or plantings. If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, a compactable base material underneath the fill can help with long term stability. Mulch or bark makes sense once the grading is done and you are ready to finish the bed.
Service area
Fill dirt needs to go down in lifts, not all at once. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch layers and compact each one before adding the next, whether you are using a plate compactor or just tamping it by hand for a small job. Skip this step and Springfield's silt loam will settle unevenly over the next year or two as it works its way down, leaving you with a dip exactly where you tried to build things up.
The most common mistake we see is people trying to grow grass straight into fill dirt. It is subsoil, not topsoil, and it lacks the organic matter and structure plants need. Always cap your compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or sodding. Skipping this step means patchy grass and a lot of wasted seed, no matter how good your grading job was underneath.
If you are filling a large area, order slightly more than your calculated yardage rather than less. A second delivery for a small shortfall costs more in time and hassle than having a bit of extra fill dirt sitting on site, and leftover fill is easy to use for a future low spot or garden bed base around the property.
Springfield's silt loam holds water longer than sandier soils, which means low areas near foundations and pool decks tend to stay soft into spring, right up until the April 30 last frost. Fill dirt is what people here use to build those spots back up before the ground firms up for construction season. It is not a growing medium, so if you are leveling a yard that will get grass or a garden bed, plan to cap it with topsoil. At 73 feet of elevation and mostly flat lots around the city, drainage away from the house is usually the real problem fill dirt is solving, not just cosmetics.
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.
