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 orde...

One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, and most structural fill jobs here run 6 to 12 inches depending on how low the area sits. Measure the footprint you are raising and multiply by your target depth in feet to get cubic yards, then round up rather than down since running short mid job means a second delivery. At 1.3 tons per cubic yard, this material is heavy, so larger orders are worth confirming your driveway or access point can handle the delivery truck.

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.

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 around West Valley City finish with a few inches of topsoil capping the fill wherever grass or planting beds are going back in, since fill dirt itself is not a growing medium. If you are backfilling around a pool or foundation, a layer of compactable base gravel underneath the fill can help with drainage before you build up. We deliver all three separately so you can stage the job in the order you actually work it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and expect it to settle evenly on its own, especially in West Valley City's silt loam, which holds moisture and compacts unpredictably under weight. Place it in lifts of 6 to 8 inches, wetting and compacting each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skipping this step is why driveways and patios built on fresh fill crack or sink within a year or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is treating fill dirt like topsoil and planting straight into it. It has no nutrient value and compacts too hard for roots to push through easily. Always cap finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of actual topsoil before seeding or laying sod, and let the fill settle for a few weeks first if the project timeline allows it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are backfilling a large low spot, it can be more efficient to bring in fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and reserve topsoil only for the top few inches where roots will actually grow. This keeps the more expensive material where it matters instead of using it as structural fill. Pairing a fill delivery with a smaller topsoil order on the same job often works out simpler than one big topsoil order.

Grading and Filling in West Valley City

West Valley City sits at 4304 feet on silt loam, soil that holds water longer than sandy ground and compacts unevenly if you just dump loose material and walk away. A lot of the backfill and pool surround jobs we deliver for here are dealing with yards that were graded once, years ago, and have since settled toward the house. Fill dirt placed and compacted in real lifts solves that for good instead of needing a top off every spring. Because this is subsoil, not topsoil, it is meant to be buried or capped, not planted into directly.

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 for my West Valley City yard?

No, fill dirt is subsoil screened of debris, used for raising grade and backfilling, not for growing anything. It lacks the organic content topsoil has. If you are planting grass or a garden on top, plan to cap the fill with several inches of topsoil once the fill is compacted and settled.

Answer

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

At a 6 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet, so 200 square feet needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards. Round up to 4 to account for compaction and minor grade variation. If you are going deeper than 6 inches, scale the yardage up proportionally.

Answer

When should I install fill dirt around here, does it matter with our frost dates?

Fill dirt is project driven, not seasonal, so you can place it anytime the ground is workable. That said, installing before the first frost around October 22 gives compacted layers more time to settle before winter freeze thaw cycles, which can shift loose fill.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get fill dirt into a backyard or does it have to stay in the driveway?

Delivery trucks place material where the driver can safely access, typically curbside or in a driveway. If your project area is fenced or blocked, you may need a wheelbarrow to move it the rest of the way, so clear a path and measure your access width before ordering.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or a base gravel for backfilling around my pool?

Fill dirt works for general backfill and raising grade, but areas needing better drainage, like around pool walls, often do better with a compactable gravel base underneath and fill dirt above. If drainage is a concern on your lot's silt loam soil, ask about layering both rather than using fill alone.
