We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

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 are correcting. Measure the low area in square feet, decide your depth, and work backward from there rather than guessing. For anything over a pallet's worth of bags, bulk by the cubic yard is the practical way to move volume.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Most fill jobs finish with a topsoil cap once the fill is compacted, since fill dirt itself will not support grass or plantings. If the area needs to drain better long term, a layer of gravel underneath before the fill goes in is worth considering on tougher clay lots. Mulch or sod usually comes last, once the grade is set and stable.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer before adding the next, especially near foundations or pools. Skipping this step is the number one reason people end up with a sunken spot two years later, because uncompacted fill keeps settling under its own weight and eventually under rain. A hand tamper works for small areas, a plate compactor for anything larger.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Wichita's clay soil already holds water, so if you are filling a low spot that collects runoff, address drainage before you bury the problem. Fill dirt is not permeable enough to fix a drainage issue on its own, it just raises the elevation. Grade the fill slightly away from structures as you build it up, roughly a couple inches of fall over 10 feet, so water keeps moving instead of pooling on the new surface.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt and topsoil get confused a lot, but they are not interchangeable and mixing up the order costs money. Fill dirt is the cheaper structural bulk material, use it for depth and grade. Once you hit the top 4 to 6 inches where anything needs to root, switch to topsoil. Buying all topsoil for a deep fill job wastes a better product on a job that does not need it.

Grading and Filling in Wichita

Wichita sits on clay that already drains slow, so low areas in a yard tend to hold water long after a storm passes. Fill dirt is how you correct that grade problem before it becomes a foundation problem, especially with the freeze and thaw swings between the October and April frost dates. A lot of the calls we get here are pool backfill, foundation work, and lot leveling ahead of a build. It is not a growing medium, so plan on capping it with topsoil for anything with roots.

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 screened of debris, used for structural purposes like raising grade or backfilling. It has little organic matter and will not support healthy plant growth on its own. Topsoil goes on top as a cap once the fill is placed and compacted, usually in the last 4 to 6 inches where roots need to establish.

Answer

How many cubic yards of fill dirt do I need for a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure the square footage of the low area, decide how deep you need to fill based on how low it sits, typically 6 to 12 inches, and divide your total square footage by the coverage rate for that depth. Round up to cover settling.

Answer

When is the best time to bring in fill dirt in Wichita?

Fill dirt is project driven rather than seasonal, so it works whenever the job calls for it. That said, working the ground before the first frost around October 20 or after the last frost around April 10 avoids frozen or overly saturated clay that is harder to compact properly. Avoid placing fill on ground that is soaked from recent rain.

Answer

Where will the truck place the fill dirt on my property?

The load gets dropped where you direct the driver on delivery day, ideally a spot with clear truck access on a hard surface. If the drop spot is deep in a backyard with no truck access, let us know your access situation so we can plan for it. Have the area marked or ready before the truck shows up.

Answer

Can I use fill dirt instead of topsoil for my whole project?

Not if anything needs to grow in it. Fill dirt is a structural subsoil meant for raising grade or backfilling, with little nutrient value. Use it for the bulk of the depth, then cap the top few inches with topsoil wherever grass, shrubs, or beds are going in. Using only fill dirt under plantings usually leads to poor growth.
