Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

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

Can I leave special instructions?

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

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.

Answer

Do I need to be home?

Not at all. Specify placement at checkout, pick AM or PM, add any relevant notes. Works great even if you're away.

Answer

How do I fix clay soil?

Compost plus gypsum, but skip sand entirely. Organic matter worked into the upper layer gradually improves clay. Takes seasons.

Answer

Is bagged soil or bulk better?

Bulk is more economical and typically better material. Bagged soil is really just for containers and minor repairs.

Answer

How do I improve drainage in heavy soil?

Incorporate compost and organic amendments heavily. With Boston's urban compaction and salt, improvement takes seasons. Raised frames are the fast solution.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never bury existing plant roots deeper than they were originally growing. Adding soil over root flares suffocates established trees and shrubs slowly over several years, often killing them before you realize the damage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Topsoil pH affects nutrient availability to plants more than actual nutrient content in the soil. Plants growing in wrong pH soil effectively starve even when plenty of nutrients are present.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Crown planting beds slightly higher than surrounding lawn for better appearance and drainage. This improves water movement away from plant stems and creates visual definition without edging materials.

The Unique Landscape of Boston

Boston, Massachusetts planting goes smoother when you’re working with soil that spreads and levels cleanly. Heavy rains can move material around, so re-leveling with fresh soil helps, so a fresh layer helps you re-level and plant cleanly. It’s great for raised beds, topping off landscape beds, and filling around new shrubs and flowers. 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.
