Your soil order depends on area and fill depth. Allentown lawn repairs need less than garden bed preparation on silt loam ground.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

Use the Trace from Satellite tool to outline where you need soil. Shallow depths work for lawn repair; deeper fills suit garden beds and grading. In Allentown, where native silt loam soil can be tough to work with, imported soil makes planting much easier.

Complete Your Outdoor Soil Project

Fresh soil is just the start in Allentown. Mulch on top holds moisture in silt loam conditions and keeps weeds down. Decorative stone adds structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is delivered soil safe for vegetables?

Safe for edibles, yes. Our garden mixes contain no harmful materials. Organic certified options available for those who want them.

Answer

Should I remove existing soil first?

Usually no—just loosen and blend with new stuff. Only remove if contaminated or severely compacted. Mixing prevents drainage issues.

Answer

What soil is best for raised beds?

Raised bed mix combines topsoil, compost, and drainage amendments. Better than using Allentown's silt loam directly—especially for vegetables.

Answer

Should I order extra?

Order 10% more than calculated—soil compacts and settling happens. One delivery trip beats two.

Answer

How do I fix clay soil?

Add organic matter and gypsum. Never add sand to clay—it makes concrete. Compost tilled into the top layer helps over seasons.

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under soil?

Fabric isn't ideal under growing areas. Cardboard smothers grass better and biodegrades. Use fabric under gravel, not gardens.

Answer

What soil for containers?

Always potting mix for pots. Garden soil doesn't drain or breathe right in containers. The difference is significant for plant health.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not till new topsoil into heavy clay more than a few inches deep. Creating a layer of loose soil over dense clay actually traps water at the interface and drowns plant roots during wet periods.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The top 6 inches of soil contains approximately 90 percent of all root activity for most landscape plants. Quality topsoil in this critical zone matters more than what lies deeper below.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

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

The Unique Landscape of Allentown

A soil refresh is one of the fastest ways to improve Allentown beds, borders, and patch repairs. Wind, rain, and settling can thin beds and uncover roots near borders. Great for gardens, borders, and any spot where you want a smoother grade and better planting layer. Avoid burying stems and plant crowns; keep soil below them and mulch after planting. Delivery keeps the work moving without the loading and unloading.
