Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard spread at 6 inches deep covers roughly 54 square feet. Most jobs run 6 to 12 inches deep depending on how much you are raising the grade, so a small low spot might take 2 to 3 yards while a foundation backfill or pool deck build up can run into double digits. Measure the area you are filling and the depth you need, then work backward from the 54 square foot per yard figure at 6 inches.

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

Fill dirt handles the structural build up, but most jobs finish with a few inches of topsoil on top wherever grass or plants need to grow. If the finished area is a walkway or patio base, a layer of gravel or crushed stone over the compacted fill gives you a firmer, better draining surface. Pair the two and you are not making two separate deliveries later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt is not something you dump in one deep pour and walk away from. Place it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or hand tamper before adding the next. Skip this step and the ground in Wilson's clay heavy soil will keep settling for a year or more, showing up as dips and cracks in whatever you build on top later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is treating fill dirt as a growing medium. It is screened subsoil, low in organic matter, and grass or garden beds struggle in it directly. Cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting, especially since Wilson's spring planting window is short between the April 2 last frost and summer heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project also needs topsoil or a base layer of gravel, order them together for the same delivery window instead of scheduling separate trips. It saves you from having equipment and access blocked more than once, and it lets you sequence the work, fill and compact first, topsoil or gravel on top, without waiting on a second truck.

Grading and Filling in Wilson

Wilson's sandy clay loam drains fine on a slope but tends to pond in yards that were graded flat, which is common in the older neighborhoods near downtown and out toward the county line. Fill dirt gives you a way to raise those low areas permanently instead of fighting standing water every spring. It also shows up on foundation and pool jobs around town where the excavated soil needs to be replaced with something denser and cleaner. Because it is a structural material, not something you plant into, it works whether the final surface is a patio base, a driveway approach, or a lawn that gets capped with topsoil.

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

Answer

What is fill dirt actually made of, and is it clean?

Our fill dirt is subsoil from local excavation projects, screened to remove rocks, roots, and construction debris. It is not topsoil and has little organic matter, which is exactly what you want for a stable structural base under a patio, driveway, or foundation backfill.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need to fill a low spot in my yard?

One cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth. Measure your low area in square feet, decide how deep you need to fill it, usually 6 to 12 inches, and divide by that coverage rate to estimate your yardage, rounding up for compaction loss.

Answer

Can I just dump the fill dirt and grade it myself, or does it need special installation?

You can spread and grade it yourself, but do it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one with a tamper or plate compactor. Wilson's clay heavy subsoil holds moisture, so uncompacted fill will settle unevenly over the following seasons if you skip this step.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the load, and what do I need to prepare?

You choose the drop location when you schedule, and the driver places the load there directly. Make sure there is a clear path at least as wide as a standard truck, free of low branches or soft ground, and mark the exact spot with a stake or cone so there is no guesswork on delivery day.

Answer

Should I order fill dirt or topsoil for my project?

Use fill dirt for raising grade, backfilling foundations, or building up a base, it is a structural material meant to be compacted. Use topsoil as a final cap wherever grass, gardens, or plants need to grow, since fill dirt alone lacks the organic content those need.
