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!

Fill dirt runs 1.3 tons per cubic yard, and one cubic yard covers roughly 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. For most Waldwick backfill or low spot jobs, figure your square footage, decide whether you need 6 or 12 inches of lift, and order by the cubic yard from there. Bigger jobs like pool backfill or foundation grading usually need multiple yards delivered at once rather than several small trips.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
Most fill dirt jobs in Waldwick end with a topsoil cap once the grade is set, since fill alone will not support grass or plantings. If you are finishing with a lawn, a few inches of topsoil on top gives roots something to grow in. Gravel or crushed stone is common too when the graded area needs to handle drainage or foot traffic.
Service area
Fill dirt should go down in 6 to 8 inch lifts, with each layer compacted before the next goes on top. Skipping compaction is the single biggest reason yards in this area develop sunken spots two or three years later, especially where sandy loam meets looser fill and settles unevenly. A plate compactor rented for an afternoon is worth it compared to redoing the grading later.
Do not confuse fill dirt with topsoil, it has no nutrient value and is not meant to grow anything directly. If your project ends in a lawn or planting bed, always cap the compacted fill with several inches of actual topsoil. People who skip this step end up with patchy grass no matter how much seed or fertilizer they add afterward.
If you are backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, order slightly more fill than your calculated volume, since compaction reduces the loose volume by a noticeable margin. It is more efficient to have a little extra on site than to schedule a second small delivery. Pairing the leftover with a topsoil cap on any exposed edges is an easy way to use it up.
Waldwick sits at about 228 feet with sandy loam soil that drains fairly well, but that does not mean grading is a non issue, older neighborhoods near the Waldwick Railroad Station have plenty of homes with settled yards, low corners, and uneven ground from decades of building. Fill dirt is what people here use to correct that before the finished surface goes in. It is not a growing medium, it is structural material meant to be compacted in place, so plan on capping it with topsoil once the grade is where you want it. With sandy loam already loose in many yards, compaction matters even more so the fill does not shift or settle unevenly against the native soil.
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.
