Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for a topsoil delivery?
You will want to clear the area for a delivery truck to get in and out of. Cars, boats, and Rvs need to be temporarily out of the way. Double check that there aren't low hanging wires, or branches. Customers will often put a blue tarp on the ground, as a target for the driver to discharge the load on. The ground needs to be flat and level. The driver will not cross your property line without a waiver signature.
How much does a dump truck load of top soil cost?
Last year, a full truck load, 12 cubic yards of topsoil with compost is $760 + tax. 60/40 is another topsoil mix that comes in 10 yard loads for $794. The 60/40 is a sand compost mix, a step up in sand from entry level toposil and compost.
Product Insights: What’s in Topsoil?
Sandy Loam and compost. The sandy loam portion is 75% naturally occurring sand, and 25% combination of clay and silt. The combination of all three makes "loam". The sand plays a role in sandy loam, it keeps the soil from becoming compacted, and it also provides drainage in our wet winters. The silt-clay combination in the loam reduces the "dryout" of the soil in the summer, and is a part of drainage process in the winter. The compost portion consists of yard and garden trimmings. Here is where the nutrients are. The topsoil does not have biosolids. Topsoil is the structure your plants anchor themselves to. All of the particle together, are the foundation for growing plants.

Solving Landscape Problems with Cobble Rock
1. Stopping Soil Erosion and Washouts
-
Problem: Water moves too fast and carves gullies into your yard.
-
Solution: 4-8" Cobbles act as "rip-rap" or armor for the soil. Their weight keeps them from washing away, and their rounded shapes break up the speed of flowing water.
2. Managing Poor Drainage (Dry Creek Beds)
-
Problem: Soggy lawns or standing water near your foundation.
-
Solution: Creating a dry creek bed with stones gives water a designated path to follow.
3. Protecting Against Tire Damage
-
Problem: Deep tire ruts and mud pits at the edge of your property.
-
Solution: Placing heavy cobbles along the shoulder of a driveway creates a "soft barrier."
4. Creating Permanent, Rot-Proof Borders
-
Problem: High maintenance and constant replacement of garden edging.
-
Solution: They are heavy enough to stay put without stakes and won't be damaged by string trimmers or mowers.
