About this soil

Screened topsoil filtered clean of rocks, roots, and debris. Smooth, consistent texture that is ready for lawns, gardens, raised beds, and finish grading.

We got 3 yards of the gardening top soil. It was great quality, not many chunks and seems good for growing, just waiting for all my plants to love it. We had more than enough soil to fill a raised bed we made and landscaped around a patio. I do wish we could do less than 3 yd...

Start with your square footage and target depth. Aurora projects can range from a light lawn smoothing to a deep raised bed fill.

Trace your project area to estimate soil needs. Shallow applications handle lawn patching and light leveling; deeper fills work better for beds, berms, and grade corrections. Aurora's native silty clay loam soil often benefits from a quality topsoil layer.

Build your Aurora beds from the ground up. Soil creates the growing layer, mulch shields it, and stone provides structure for paths and borders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I leave special instructions?

For sure. The notes field at checkout is for gate codes, placement preferences, obstacles—any helpful details.

Answer

How is delivery priced?

Distance determines delivery fee. An estimate appears in your cart; exact amount calculates at checkout with your address.

Answer

Is delivered soil safe for vegetables?

Yes, garden mixes work safely for food crops. No problematic materials included. Organic options exist for maximum peace of mind.

Answer

Is bagged soil or bulk better?

For any real project, bulk wins on cost and quality. Bagged soil makes sense only for container work or small patches.

Answer

How deep should garden soil be?

Flowers need 6–8 inches, vegetables 10–12, raised beds 12+. Given Aurora's native silty clay loam, more depth means healthier roots.

Answer

Should I order extra?

Definitely round up by 10%. Compaction takes some volume. Since delivery cost is mileage-based, one load is smarter.

Answer

How do I fix sandy soil?

Add organic matter—compost, aged manure, garden mix. Sandy soil drains fast and doesn't hold nutrients. Yearly additions build retention.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not spread topsoil when rain is forecast in the next day or two. Runoff carries loose soil into streets, storm drains, and neighbors' yards, wasting your material and creating problems.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For raised vegetable beds, use approximately a 60/40 mix of quality topsoil and compost. Pure topsoil drains too slowly for vegetables, and pure compost dries out too fast between watering.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fall topsoil work in Aurora gives winter freeze-thaw cycles time to naturally settle and aerate new fill before spring planting begins. The soil structure improves without any effort from you.

The Unique Landscape of Aurora

Good soil helps Aurora plantings establish faster and keeps beds looking tidy after the first few weeks. It’s normal for beds to settle; topping off soil restores a clean finish, so a fresh layer helps you re-level and plant cleanly. It works well for garden beds, tree rings, and backfilling after planting. On slopes, shape a gentle contour so water moves through without cutting channels.
