How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard 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 are raising. For a small backfill job around a foundation wall, figure your square footage and depth first, then order in full yards since partial loads still get billed by volume. Bigger regrades or pool backfills easily run 15 to 40 yards, and it is worth measuring twice since fill dirt is heavy to move a second time if you order short.

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 dirt jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil on top once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If the finished grade will see traffic or drainage, a layer of gravel or crushed rock underneath or around the fill can help with stability. Mulch comes in later, once the topsoil and any planting beds are in place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is the number one reason people see their patio or shed pad sink a few inches over the following winter, especially in ground that holds moisture like the volcanic loam common around Vancouver.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not topsoil and will not support turf or plants on its own. If the finished area needs grass, beds, or anything green, cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before planting. Skipping this step means whatever you plant will struggle in dense, nutrient poor subsoil no matter how well you water it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order fill dirt and topsoil as separate deliveries rather than trying to blend them yourself on site. It is cheaper per yard to move structural fill dirt in bulk and cap it with a thinner topsoil layer than to buy one blended product for the whole depth, and you get better compaction control by keeping the two materials distinct during install.
Grading and Filling in Vancouver
Vancouver sits at a low 171 feet with a lot of flat ground near the Columbia, and volcanic loam here compacts unevenly once it gets saturated through the wet winter months leading up to that November 10 frost. That combination means a lot of yards develop soggy low spots or settle unevenly near foundations and patios over a few years. Fill dirt is what fixes that, not by adding nutrients but by adding structural mass you compact in place. Around Fort Vancouver and the older neighborhoods with mature grading, we see a steady need for it ahead of hardscape and pool projects rather than tied to any particular season.
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.
