I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

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're correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your depth based on how much you're raising it, and order in cubic yards from there. For anything deeper than 8 inches, plan on multiple compacted lifts rather than one thick pour.

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 jobs in Toledo finish with a topsoil cap once the grade is where it needs to be, especially if grass or beds are going back in over it. If you're building up around a foundation or pool, a layer of compactable gravel underneath the fill helps with drainage before you backfill. Either way, plan the order of materials before delivery day so trucks aren't crossing paths on a tight lot.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is a structural material, not something you spread 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. Skip this step and you'll be looking at a sunken patch in your yard two winters from now, especially over Toledo's clay, which holds moisture and makes uncompacted fill settle unevenly as it dries and shifts.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people trying to grow grass or plants directly in fill dirt. It's subsoil, stripped of the organic matter that supports root growth, so nothing will thrive in it long term. Always cap fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting, and let the fill settle and compact fully first so the topsoil layer doesn't sink with it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project is close to the frost line, like backfilling around a foundation before winter, get the fill placed and compacted well before the ground freezes around October 5. Working frozen or half frozen clay subsoil is slow and uneven, and fill dropped late in the season won't compact properly until spring, leaving a soft spot through the coldest months.

Grading and Filling in Toledo

Toledo's clay base means water sits instead of draining, and that low spot near your foundation or the soggy corner of the yard isn't going anywhere on its own. Fill dirt raises that ground and gives you a stable base to build on, whether you're leveling before a patio or backfilling around a new pool wall. Because the native clay compacts hard but holds water, the fill you bring in needs to be placed and compacted correctly or it will settle unevenly over the next few winters. This isn't material for growing anything, it's the structural layer underneath.

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

Is fill dirt the same as topsoil?

No, fill dirt is subsoil dug from excavation sites and screened of rocks and debris, while topsoil is the nutrient rich layer that supports plant growth. Fill dirt is meant for raising grade, backfilling, and building structural base, not for growing anything. Most projects use fill dirt underneath and cap it with topsoil where grass or plants need to go.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to raise a 10 by 10 foot low spot?

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so a 100 square foot area needs roughly 2 cubic yards. If you're raising it deeper, say 12 inches, plan on around 3.7 cubic yards. Always round up slightly since compaction reduces the finished depth from what you started with.

Answer

Can I install fill dirt myself without heavy equipment?

Yes, for smaller residential jobs a hand tamper or rented plate compactor works fine, you just need to place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding more. Skipping compaction is the main reason fill settles unevenly later. Larger volumes or deep fills around a foundation may be worth renting equipment for or hiring help.

Answer

Where will the truck put the fill dirt on delivery day?

The driver places the load wherever you direct, typically a driveway or curbside spot with solid, flat access for a loaded dump truck. Delivery is scheduled at checkout, so you'll know the date in advance and can clear the space beforehand. If your access is tight, let us know the site conditions so we can plan accordingly.

Answer

Should I use fill dirt or gravel for backfilling around my foundation?

It depends on drainage needs. Fill dirt works for general backfill and raising grade, but areas prone to water pooling, like against a Toledo clay base, often do better with a compactable gravel layer for drainage before fill dirt goes on top. For pool walls or foundations, many jobs use both, gravel near the structure and fill dirt further out.
