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 yds delivered but I understand the limitations. My only concern was we requested it on the top left of our driveway since we had mulch on the other side, they ended up pouring it on top of the mulch (it was covered with a tarp so not ruined) making it difficult to complete our landscaping in a timely fashion.

Answer

Topsoil vs garden mix—which should I use?

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

Answer

How do I prepare the area before adding soil?

Start by clearing vegetation, then break up compacted ground. With Chicago's clay, this integration step prevents water issues.

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 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

What soil is best for raised beds?

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

Answer

Is new soil safe for pets?

Plain soil and compost are pet-safe. Wash paws after digging. Avoid soil with added fertilizers if your dog eats dirt.

Answer

How do I fill a raised bed?

Deep beds can start with yard waste at the bottom. Fill remainder with raised bed mix, leaving 1–2 inches of space for mulch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never spread topsoil over frozen ground during Chicago 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

Skip the topsoil entirely for topdressing established lawns. Grass cannot push through more than about half an inch of new material. Use fine compost for lawn top-dressing instead of soil.

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.

Chicago projects move faster when you can level, plant, and water into a clean soil layer. After wet stretches, beds can crust over or settle unevenly. Helpful for vegetable beds, new borders, and rebuilding spots that eroded or settled. Avoid burying stems and plant crowns; keep soil below them and mulch after planting. Delivery is just the practical part—less lifting and fewer trips.
