How To Measure

Measure the length and width of the area. For filling low spots, estimate the average depth needed to bring it level.

New Lawns: 4-6 inches.

Raised Garden Beds: 10-12 inches.

Filling Low Spots: Varies (Measure average depth).

Not All Dirt Is Created Equal

This isn't "fill dirt" full of rocks and clay. Our screened topsoil is processed to remove debris, making it soft, workable, and nutrient-dense. Whether you are fixing the grade around your foundation to prevent water issues or topping off a garden bed, this soil provides the ideal environment for grass seed and plant roots to take hold.

FAQ

What are the best projects for this soil?

Use screened topsoil for final grading on new lawns, filling in low spots or ruts in your yard, and filling raised vegetable garden beds. Do not use it for structural bases (like under a patio).

How much will this soil settle?

Great question. Freshly screened soil is fluffy (aerated). You should expect it to settle about 20% once it gets wet. We recommend overfilling your holes slightly to account for this.

Is this soil guaranteed to be weed-free?

While screening removes rocks and roots, no natural topsoil is 100% weed-seed free because wind blows seeds into the piles at the yard. However, it is significantly cleaner than unscreened fill dirt.
