Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

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 grade you need to make up. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your target depth, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything over a couple yards, delivery beats hauling it yourself in a truck bed.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Fill dirt is not a growing medium, so most jobs finish with a cap of topsoil on top wherever grass, beds, or landscaping need to root. If you are building up a base for a paver patio or shed pad, a layer of gravel over the compacted fill gives you a firmer, better draining surface. Straw or erosion matting helps hold new fill in place on sloped Statesboro lots until it settles.
Fill dirt has to be placed in lifts, not dumped in one deep pile. Spread it in layers of 6 to 8 inches and compact each one with a plate compactor or by hand tamping before adding the next. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason people see sinking or uneven settling a year or two later, especially in Statesboro's sandy loam where loose fill can shift once it takes on rain.
Do not plant directly into fill dirt. It is subsoil, stripped of organic matter, and it will not support healthy root growth. Cap any area that needs grass, shrubs, or beds with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil once your fill is compacted and graded to the level you want.
If you are building up a large low area, consider ordering fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and saving topsoil for just the top layer. It is a more efficient way to buy material since fill costs less per yard than topsoil, and structurally it does the same job underneath where nothing needs to grow anyway.
Statesboro sits at a modest 250 feet elevation with sandy loam soil that drains fast but does not always sit level, especially on lots near Georgia Southern that were graded years ago and have settled unevenly since. Fill dirt is the tool for correcting that, not topsoil and not mulch, because the job is structural. People here use it most often to bring a low backyard corner up to grade before sod, or to build a stable base under a shed or patio slab. With the region's heavy summer rain, getting the grade right with proper fill matters more than it does in drier climates.
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.
