What Is Topsoil?
Topsoil is the upper layer of soil with the organic content that supports vegetation. At home or on a job site it is the finishing material: spread over a completed grade to grow grass, gardens and landscaping and to hold the ground against erosion. It is distinct from fill dirt (subsoil for raising grade) and select fill (structural material). Most projects build up with fill, then cap with topsoil.
Screened for finish work
We supply screened topsoil so it spreads clean and consistent for lawns, beds and final grade, without the rocks, roots and clods that slow down the work. For projects with stormwater requirements, clean topsoil is also part of establishing the vegetative cover that erosion-control plans depend on.
How it is delivered
By the truckload, a single load for a backyard or a steady run of trucks for a commercial close-out, scheduled for when you are ready to spread it so it is not sitting in the way. Estimate your quantity with our topsoil calculator.
Topsoil for homes and job sites
For your yard
For a new lawn, plan on 4 to 6 inches of topsoil; for garden beds, 6 to 12. Four inches over 1,000 square feet is about 12 cubic yards; with about 10 percent extra for settling, that is one end dump load or two tandem loads. Tell us the address and where the truck can tip, and we quote it the same day.
For job sites
Finish grade, landscape areas, detention-pond slopes and erosion-control cover, scheduled for the close-out so the topsoil is not sitting on site through the structural phase. An end dump carries about 18 cubic yards of topsoil. Stripping topsoil instead? It may qualify for free topsoil removal.
How much topsoil do you need?
Cubic yards of topsoil for common areas, measured in place. Topsoil settles, so order about 10 percent more.
| Area | 4 inches deep | 6 inches deep |
|---|---|---|
| 500 square feet | 6.2 cubic yards | 9.3 cubic yards |
| 1,000 square feet | 12.3 cubic yards | 18.5 cubic yards |
| 2,500 square feet | 30.9 cubic yards | 46.3 cubic yards |
| 5,000 square feet | 61.7 cubic yards | 92.6 cubic yards |
| 1 acre | 538 cubic yards | 807 cubic yards |
A tandem dump truck carries about 11 to 12 cubic yards of topsoil and an end dump about 18. For any other shape, the topsoil calculator measures it on a map.

Topsoil FAQ
Have topsoil to get rid of?
Every site strips its topsoil before the pad goes in, and most of it never goes back. Screened, that stockpile is a material landscape and finish crews buy, which is why a site with enough of it may qualify to have it screened on site and hauled off at no cost. Measure the pile with the topsoil calculator, then see if your site qualifies.
