    Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

    Measure length times width in feet, then multiply by the depth in feet, so four inches becomes 0.33. Divide that total by 27 to get cubic yards. Order about ten percent extra for Moss Bluff projects since freshly delivered soil settles noticeably once our heavy rains compact it.

    Finish new beds with a three inch layer of hardwood mulch to keep silt loam from crusting, and add crushed stone or drainage rock at downspouts and low corners where water tends to collect.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    Why does water stand in my yard for days after a rain?

    Two reasons common in Moss Bluff. Our silt loam compacts and loses its pore space under foot traffic and mowers, and at 20 feet of elevation the water table sits close to the surface so there is nowhere for it to go quickly. The fix is usually regrading with screened topsoil to create a one to two percent fall away from the house, plus compost worked into the top six inches to rebuild structure.

    Answer

    What soil should I use for raised vegetable beds here?

    A garden mix of roughly sixty percent screened topsoil and forty percent compost works well in Moss Bluff. Raised beds are strongly recommended in this area because they lift roots above the saturated zone during our wet months. Build them at least ten to twelve inches tall so tomatoes and peppers stay out of standing water in spring.

    Answer

    How much topsoil do I need before laying sod?

    Plan on three to four inches of screened topsoil over prepared ground, which is about one cubic yard per 80 square feet at four inches. For St. Augustine, which is what most Moss Bluff lawns run, that base gives the runners something loose to root into. Rake it smooth and roll it lightly so you do not get birdbaths after the first storm.

    Answer

    Do I need to test my soil before I amend it?

    It helps. Southwest Louisiana silt loam often runs slightly acidic, which suits azaleas, camellias, and blueberries but is low for vegetables that prefer a pH near 6.5. The LSU AgCenter office can run an inexpensive test. Knowing your starting point tells you whether to add lime along with your compost or simply build organic matter.

    Answer

    Can I fill a low spot in my yard with topsoil without killing the grass?

    Yes, if you go slow. Add no more than half an inch to an inch of screened topsoil at a time and let the St. Augustine grow through before adding the next layer. Burying runners deeper than that in our humid climate invites fungus. Deep low spots may take three or four applications across a growing season.

    Answer

    When is the best time to build new beds in Moss Bluff?

    Late February through March, right after the last frost around February 25, gives you a full season of growth. Fall is a close second because September and October soil is warm and rain is often lighter, and beds built then are settled and ready by spring. Avoid building in midsummer when heat stress makes it hard for new plantings to establish.

    Answer

    What is the difference between topsoil and fill dirt?

    Screened topsoil has organic matter and is meant to grow things. Fill dirt is subsoil or clay used for volume and structural fill, and nothing thrives in it. In Moss Bluff, use fill dirt to raise low areas or build up around a slab, then cap it with four to six inches of topsoil before you plant or sod.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Never work silt loam when it is wet. Tilling or even walking on saturated Moss Bluff soil destroys its structure and leaves you with dense clods that take a full season to recover. Squeeze a handful. If it ribbons out and stays molded, wait two or three more days. If it crumbles apart when you poke it, you are clear to dig, till, or grade.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Blend new topsoil into the existing ground instead of laying it on like a blanket. A sharp boundary between imported soil and native silt loam creates an interface that water will not cross easily, so your new bed stays soggy on top and dry below. Break up the top three or four inches of native ground with a fork first, then spread and mix your delivered soil into that transition zone.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Feed your beds organic matter every single year. Moss Bluff's warm temperatures and 58 inches of rainfall burn through compost far faster than in cooler climates, and what you added last March may be largely gone by the following spring. One inch of compost top dressed over beds each fall keeps organic matter climbing, holds nutrients that would otherwise leach away, and keeps the soil loose enough for roots to move.

    The Unique Landscape of Moss Bluff

    Native Moss Bluff ground is silt loam that turns to soup after a Gulf downpour and then sets up firm as it dries, which is a hard combination for vegetables and new lawns. Because we sit at roughly 20 feet of elevation with a high water table, most of the standing water problems here are drainage issues rather than soil fertility problems. Bringing in quality topsoil and compost to build raised beds or to grade a positive slope away from your slab is the most effective fix a homeowner can make. Our 58 inches of annual rain also leaches nutrients out of the root zone quickly, so amended soil with real organic matter outperforms fertilizer alone. With a growing season stretching from late February to the first frost around December 1, Moss Bluff beds work almost year round and need that organic matter replaced every season.
