About this fill dirt

Screened fill dirt free of debris, for raising low ground and backfilling. Structural material, place it in lifts and compact as you go.

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, rounding up rather than down since a shortfall mid project means a second delivery.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most fill dirt jobs finish with a layer of topsoil on top, since fill alone will not support grass or plant beds in our sandy conditions. If the project involves a pool deck or patio base, a compactable base material on top of the fill helps lock things in before pavers or concrete go down. Sod or seed comes last, once the topsoil cap is graded and settled.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not something you dump and walk away from. Place it in lifts no deeper than 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer before adding the next. Skip this step and the sandy soil underneath combined with an uncompacted fill layer means your grade keeps sinking for a year or two, especially after Florida's summer rains saturate everything and the fill settles into any air gaps left behind.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake in Titusville yards is filling low spots right up to final grade with fill dirt and then trying to plant into it. Fill dirt has no organic matter and compacts too hard for roots to establish. Always cap with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or sodding, and keep that boundary in mind when you are ordering so you budget for both materials, not just one.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both fill and topsoil, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them on site, it is faster to place each material correctly and keeps your compaction lifts clean. Since fill dirt is priced by the yard and used in bulk, slightly overestimating your volume costs less in the long run than running short and paying for a second short delivery.

Grading and Filling in Titusville

At 7 feet of elevation, standing water and low pockets are a real issue for yards around Titusville, and fill dirt is usually the first step in fixing that. The native sandy soil here does not hold shape well on its own, so raised areas built without proper fill tend to settle and wash out again within a season. We see a lot of demand for this material around pool installs and foundation backfill, where the ground needs real structure before anything else goes on top. It is not a growing medium, so plan on capping with topsoil once the grade is where you want it.

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

Will fill dirt work for the low spots in my backyard where water sits after rain?

Yes, that is one of the most common uses for it in Titusville given how flat and low lying the area is. Fill dirt raises the grade so water runs off instead of pooling. Just plan to compact it in lifts and cap with topsoil if you want grass to grow on top afterward.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a 200 square foot low spot?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet would need roughly 3.7 cubic yards, call it 4 to be safe. If you need a full 12 inches of fill, double that to around 7.5 yards.

Answer

How soon can I build or plant on top of fill dirt after it is delivered?

It depends on compaction, not calendar time. If you compact each 6 to 8 inch lift as you go, you can build or cap with topsoil almost immediately after the final lift. Skip compaction and you will likely see settling for a year or more, especially once seasonal rains soak into the sandy base underneath.

Answer

Can your truck get close enough to dump near my pool or foundation?

Our drivers place the load as close as truck access allows, so let us know about gates, tight side yards, or overhead lines when you schedule. For pool and foundation jobs with limited access, we can drop the pile at the nearest workable spot and you move it in from there with a wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or topsoil for raising my yard's grade?

Use fill dirt for the structural bulk of the job, it is denser, cheaper by volume, and meant for building up ground, not growing in. Reserve topsoil for the final 4 to 6 inch cap where grass or plants will actually establish. Using topsoil for the whole depth wastes money and compacts poorly compared to fill.
