Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How do I prepare the area before adding soil?

Weed first, then loosen the existing soil several inches down. This helps new soil integrate—important with Akron's heavy clay drainage.

Answer

When is the best time to add soil?

Spring and fall work well. In Akron, target after May 5 in spring or before Oct 15 in fall. Don't work saturated soil.

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under soil?

Not for planting—cardboard on grass works better and breaks down. Save landscape fabric for gravel areas, not garden beds.

Answer

Do I need special soil for vegetables?

Vegetable gardens perform best in amended garden mix. The looser, richer texture suits them better than plain topsoil in Akron.

Answer

Is new soil safe for pets?

Plain soil and compost are pet-safe. Wash paws after digging. Avoid soil with added fertilizers if your dog eats dirt.

Answer

Can I add soil in summer?

Yes, though conditions aren't ideal. Summer heat accelerates drying. Water thoroughly, avoid midday work, and mulch after planting.

Answer

Can I pick my delivery date?

Yes—available dates show once you add to cart and enter your address. Choose what works and select your time preference.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Heavy clay loam soil common in Akron benefits from gypsum mixed into new topsoil applications. It breaks up clay particles and improves drainage without changing soil pH the way lime does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Grade topsoil away from foundations at a minimum slope of 1 inch per foot of distance. Proper drainage prevents water from pooling against structures and causing expensive moisture damage over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Aerate compacted topsoil annually with a core aerator for healthiest lawns and beds. The plugs of soil removed create channels for air, water, and roots to penetrate dense compacted layers.

The Unique Landscape of Akron

A fresh soil layer helps Akron, Ohio projects look finished—smooth grade, clean edges, better starts. In Akron, Seasonal swings can compact areas and expose roots, especially along edges and slopes. Helpful for vegetable beds, new borders, and rebuilding spots that eroded or settled. Spread in thin lifts, rake smooth, and water lightly so it settles before planting.
