A balanced mix of topsoil and organic amendments ready for raised beds, flower gardens, and new planting areas. Good drainage, solid nutrients, easy to work with.

Ordered the planting mix with an early Saturday delivery. Super easy ordering experience. Dirt was delivered on time and delivery driver was kind enough to let us know I would take up more room than we though so we could pull cars out of the garage. Will be ordering again

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Can I add soil in summer?

You can, but it's tougher. Hot soil dries fast and plants stress during transplanting. Water well, work early or late, mulch immediately.

Answer

Is new soil safe for pets?

Yes, basic soil and compost are safe for pets. Clean muddy paws after playtime. Avoid fertilizer-added products for dogs who dig and eat.

Answer

How often should I add new soil?

Yearly for raised beds: add 1–2 inches of compost. In-ground areas with good mulching need less frequent attention.

Answer

Can I leave special instructions?

Definitely. Notes section at checkout handles gate codes, placement details, access warnings—whatever helps.

Answer

Do I need to test my soil?

It helps. Lafayette soil often runs variable by location. A simple pH test tells you if amendments are needed. Extension offices often test cheaply.

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.

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.

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

Lafayette yards with native silt loam soil often need drainage amendments mixed into topsoil. Add sand to clay, compost to sand, and organic matter to both for best results with any soil type.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not till new topsoil into heavy clay more than a few inches deep. Creating a layer of loose soil over dense clay actually traps water at the interface and drowns plant roots during wet periods.

The Unique Landscape of Lafayette

Lafayette projects move faster when you can level, plant, and water into a clean soil layer. Around Lafayette, Wind, rain, and settling can thin beds and uncover roots near borders. Use it to top-dress, rebuild worn bed edges, and smooth low areas before seed. 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.
