Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How often should I add new soil?

Raised beds benefit from yearly compost—couple inches does it. Ground beds with mulch need topping less often.

Answer

How is delivery priced?

We price by distance from our yard. Cart provides an estimate; your complete address at checkout locks in the actual fee.

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

Should I remove existing soil first?

Rarely necessary. Work the existing soil loose and mix layers together. Removal makes sense only for contamination.

Answer

Why is my soil compacting?

Traffic, rain, and insufficient organics compact ground. Birmingham's red clay compacts readily. Annual compost and avoiding wet-soil walking help.

Answer

How much soil do I need?

One cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. For raised beds, plan 12 inches minimum. Our calculator handles the math.

Answer

Do I need to test my soil?

Recommended. Birmingham's red clay typically runs neutral to slightly acidic. Testing reveals whether you need lime, sulfur, or other corrections.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Spread soil when it is slightly moist, not soaking wet or bone dry. Wet soil clumps together and compacts badly under foot traffic. Dry soil blows away in wind and will not blend properly with existing ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never spread topsoil over frozen ground during Birmingham winters. It will not bond with the frozen soil below and will wash away completely with the first heavy spring rain, wasting your money.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Garden soil and topsoil are different products designed for different uses. Topsoil is screened native soil for general use. Garden soil includes amendments like compost and fertilizer already mixed in.
