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.

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 Joliet, where native silty clay loam soil can be tough to work with, imported soil makes planting much easier.

Answer

How do I improve drainage in heavy soil?

Work in lots of organic material: compost, aged manure, amendments. Joliet's prairie clay hardpan takes time to fix. Consider raised beds.

Answer

How often should I add new soil?

Annual compost addition keeps raised beds productive—1–2 inches per year. Mulched in-ground beds need less frequent soil additions.

Answer

Why is my soil compacting?

Foot traffic, rain impact, and lack of organic matter all compact soil. In Joliet's silty clay loam, compaction happens faster. Add compost yearly.

Answer

How much soil do I need?

Figure 100 sq ft coverage per yard at 3-inch depth. Raised beds need 12+ inches. Use our sizing tool for exact amounts.

Answer

How deep should garden soil be?

6–8 inches for flowers, 10–12 for vegetables, 12+ for raised beds. In Joliet's silty clay loam, deeper imported soil gives roots room above the prairie clay hardpan.

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 to be home?

Nope. Enter drop-off details, choose your delivery window, note any access info. Most customers aren't home.

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

One inch of quality topsoil takes nature 500 to 1,000 years to create through natural processes. What you spread across your yard in an afternoon represents centuries of geological activity.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Leaf compost mixed with topsoil improves silty clay loam soil structure better than peat moss alone. It also adds beneficial soil microbes and provides slow-release nutrients over the growing season.

Joliet, Illinois planting goes smoother when you’re working with soil that spreads and levels cleanly. Wind, rain, and settling can thin beds and uncover roots near borders, 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. Keep the finish slightly high—soil settles—then touch up after the first good rain. Delivery is just the practical part—less lifting and fewer trips.
