Screened Top Soil

Our screened topsoil arrives free of rocks and debris, making it ideal for topdressing lawns, filling low spots, or establishing new planting areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Topsoil vs garden mix—which should I use?

Different jobs: topsoil for fill and grade, garden mix for growing. Albany's silty clay responds better to amended garden mix.

Answer

What soil is best for raised beds?

Raised bed mix combines topsoil, compost, and drainage amendments. Better than using Albany's silty clay directly—especially for vegetables.

Answer

Is bagged soil or bulk better?

Bulk is cheaper per yard and often higher quality. Bags work for tiny jobs. Anything over a few square feet, bulk delivery saves money.

Answer

How is delivery priced?

Pricing is based on distance. Cart shows an estimate; checkout with your address gives the final number.

Answer

Do I need to be home?

Nope. Enter drop-off details, choose your delivery window, note any access info. Most customers aren't home.

Answer

How do I fix clay soil?

Work in compost and gypsum, never sand. Three to four inches of organic matter tilled in makes a difference over time.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Screened topsoil passes through a half inch mesh to remove rocks, roots, and debris. Unscreened fill soil is significantly cheaper but requires much more prep work before use in planting areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test your soil pH after adding new topsoil to planting beds. Blending different soil sources can shift pH unexpectedly in either direction. Most landscape plants prefer a 6.0 to 7.0 pH range.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Avoid walking on newly spread topsoil more than absolutely necessary during installation. Footprints compact soil unevenly and create low spots that show through sod and seed for years.

The Unique Landscape of Albany

Albany, New York beds often settle over time; topping off with soil keeps plantings at the right height. In Albany, After wet stretches, beds can crust over or settle unevenly. Ideal for leveling small lawn repairs, refreshing beds, and filling after hardscape work. Spread in thin lifts, rake smooth, and water lightly so it settles before planting. With delivery, you can focus on grading and planting instead of hauling bags.
