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!

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a 10 by 10 foot low spot needs roughly two yards to bring it level. For deeper fills, like backfilling around a foundation or pool wall, figure your cubic footage first, then convert to yards, since this material compacts in 6 to 8 inch lifts rather than going in all at once.

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 finish with a topsoil cap once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt itself is not meant to grow anything. If you are leveling a low area that will see grass again, pair your order with topsoil and possibly compost to rebuild a workable planting layer on top.
Service area
Wentzville's clay soil does not forgive dumped, uncompacted fill. Spread 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 yards here develop sunken patches two or three years later, especially around foundations where water tends to collect and soften loose fill from underneath.
A common mistake is treating fill dirt as a finished surface. It has no organic matter and compacts hard, so nothing grows well directly in it. Once your fill is compacted to grade, cap it with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or sodding. Skipping the cap layer means thin, patchy grass no matter how much fertilizer you put down afterward.
If you are filling a large low area, order fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and save topsoil for just the top few inches, rather than paying to move topsoil volume that will just get buried. This split keeps your project on budget and still gives you a real growing layer where it matters, right at the surface.
Wentzville sits on clay soil that holds water and settles unevenly, which is why so many yards here develop low spots near foundations, patios, and pool decks over time. Fill dirt gives you a structural base to correct that grading before it turns into standing water or a cracked slab. With Quail Ridge Park and similar developments nearby built on graded lots, a lot of the fill work around town is backfill against retaining walls or leveling before a shed or patio goes in. This is a build-up material, not a planting bed, so plan to cap it with topsoil wherever grass or landscaping needs to grow.
Fill dirt is inorganic subsoil sold for volume and grade, not for growing. Small rocks and bits of stick or root are normal in the mix. 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.
