One cubic yard 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 need to make up. Measure the low area's square footage and multiply by your target depth in feet to get cubic yards, then round up since compaction will eat into your volume once you tamp each lift down.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Most fill dirt jobs in this area finish with a cap of topsoil once the grade is set, especially if grass or plantings are going back on top. If you're backfilling near a foundation or pool wall, a layer of coarse sand or gravel at the base helps with drainage before the fill goes in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt in this climate needs to go down in lifts of 6 to 8 inches, each one compacted before the next goes on top. Skip this and you'll get slow settling over a year or two as frost cycles work through it, especially with our sandy loam base that shifts more than clay does. A hand tamper works for small backfill jobs, but anything over a pallet's worth of area is worth renting a plate compactor for the day.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is people trying to grow grass or plants directly in fill dirt. It's subsoil, stripped of organic matter, so nothing establishes well in it long term. Always cap finished grade with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or planting anything, even if the fill layer underneath looks fine on the surface.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're filling a large low spot, it's worth pairing fill dirt with a cheaper base layer where drainage matters, like near a foundation, then finishing the last several inches with fill for fine grading. This keeps your cubic yard count on the finer material lower and puts your money where the structure actually needs it.

Grading and Filling in Wisconsin Rapids

Wisconsin Rapids sits on sandy loam over a fairly flat river valley, which drains fine but leaves a lot of yards with low spots that hold water after spring melt. Fill dirt is the fix for that, not topsoil, since it is meant to build structure and grade rather than grow anything. With frost heaving from a Zone 5a winter working the ground every year, any fill you bring in needs to be compacted in lifts so it does not settle unevenly by the next thaw. This is the material for pool backfill, foundation grading, and building up low ground before the finish soil goes down.

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 yard in Wisconsin Rapids?

No, fill dirt is subsoil meant to raise grade or backfill, it has no organic matter and won't support plant growth well. If you're planting or seeding, cap the finished fill with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil. Use fill dirt for the structural work underneath, not as the top layer where anything needs to grow.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers roughly 54 square feet at 6 inches deep. Measure your low area's square footage, decide how deep you need to fill, and calculate from there. For a 300 square foot spot at 6 inches, you're looking at around 5.5 cubic yards, plus a bit extra since compaction settles the material down.

Answer

Do I need to compact fill dirt before building on top of it?

Yes, especially with our sandy loam soil and freeze thaw cycles each winter. Place the fill in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each one before adding the next, otherwise the ground keeps settling unevenly for years. This matters most around foundations, pools, or anywhere you plan to build a structure.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach a backyard job site or a spot with limited access?

Delivery trucks need a clear path with enough width and overhead clearance to get close to your work area. If your site has narrow gates or tight turns, let us know the access details when ordering so the load can be placed as close as possible, saving you from moving it far by wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I get fill dirt or crushed gravel for backfilling around my foundation?

It depends on drainage needs. Fill dirt works for general grading and backfill where water movement isn't a concern, while gravel drains better near foundations or retaining walls where moisture buildup is a risk. Many jobs use a gravel base layer with fill dirt finishing the upper grade.
