One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 20 foot low spot at that depth runs close to 4 cubic yards. Most structural fill goes in 6 to 12 inches deep depending on what you're building up to, so measure your area and multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic yards. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly, since compaction will eat into your final grade.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

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 structural grade is set, especially if grass or plantings are going in above it. Some customers also order a load of gravel or crushed stone for drainage layers under patios or sheds before the fill goes on top. If you're backfilling around a foundation or pool, plan your topsoil order for after the fill has settled through a rain cycle or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not something you dump in one deep pile and walk away from. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next layer. Skip this step and you'll be watching your yard sink in spots for the next two or three years as it settles unevenly on its own, especially over the rockier subsoil common around Succasunna.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is capping fill with topsoil too soon, before it's had a chance to settle through at least one good rain. Sandy loam drains fast here, so a hard rain within a week or two of filling will show you where it's still soft. Let it settle, check for low spots, then bring in topsoil once the grade holds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large area, pair fill dirt with a thinner topsoil cap instead of using topsoil for the whole depth. Topsoil costs more and isn't built for structural weight anyway, so using fill for the bulk of the depth and topsoil only for the top 4 to 6 inches where roots grow gets you a stable, plantable grade without overspending on material that's doing a job it's not suited for.

Grading and Filling in Succasunna

Succasunna sits on sandy loam at 722 feet, which drains well but still shifts and settles when disturbed, especially around new foundations or pool excavations. Fill dirt gives you a stable base to rebuild grade on before that native soil goes back over it. Because this area earned its nickname from the rocky ground under it, a lot of local lots have uneven, stone pocked low spots that need real volume to level out, not a few bags from a hardware store. This is structural material for those jobs, not something you plant into directly.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to level my whole backyard in Succasunna?

Yes, fill dirt is exactly what's used for regrading low or uneven yards, which is common here given the rocky, uneven ground under a lot of Succasunna lots. Just plan to compact it in layers rather than dumping it all at once, and cap it with topsoil if you want grass or plants growing on top.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to backfill around my foundation?

It depends on the trench width and depth, but as a rule, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your perimeter trench length times width times depth in feet, then convert to cubic yards. Most foundation backfill jobs run somewhere between 3 and 10 cubic yards depending on house size.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt before winter?

Since Succasunna's first frost lands around October 10, aim to get fill placed and compacted before the ground starts freezing, ideally by mid to late September. Fill dirt itself isn't seasonal, but compaction and settling work best while the ground is still workable and not frozen or waterlogged from spring thaw.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the fill dirt on my property?

The driver will place the load as close to your project area as your driveway or access point safely allows. Clear a path at least 10 feet wide and mark the exact spot ahead of time, since large delivery trucks can't maneuver tight turns or soft ground the way a smaller vehicle can.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for raising my garden bed?

Fill dirt is a structural material for building up grade, not a growing medium, so it should never be the top layer where anything is planted. For a garden bed, use fill only if you need serious height, then cap it with several inches of topsoil so roots have something to actually grow in.
