Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is delivered soil safe for vegetables?

Yes, garden mixes work safely for food crops. No problematic materials included. Organic options exist for maximum peace of mind.

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under soil?

Not for planting—cardboard on grass works better and breaks down. Save landscape fabric for gravel areas, not garden beds.

Answer

What's the difference between compost and topsoil?

Topsoil is mineral-based dirt for structure. Compost is decomposed organic matter for nutrition. Most gardens need both.

Answer

Topsoil vs garden mix—which should I use?

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

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

Is bagged soil or bulk better?

Bulk delivery beats bags on price and usually on quality. Use bags only for tiny spots or where truck access is impossible.

Answer

Why is my soil compacting?

Traffic, rain, and insufficient organics compact ground. New Orleans's clay compacts readily. Annual compost and avoiding wet-soil walking help.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rent a Bobcat or mini skid steer for jobs requiring more than 5 yards of soil. Hand spreading large quantities of topsoil takes forever, destroys your back, and wastes valuable time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fall topsoil work in New Orleans gives winter freeze-thaw cycles time to naturally settle and aerate new fill before spring planting begins. The soil structure improves without any effort from you.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Most New Orleans native soil needs improvement for growing ornamental plants successfully. Native plants adapted to local conditions over thousands of years. Nursery plants usually did not.

The Unique Landscape of New Orleans

New Orleans landscaping projects go smoother when you start with soil that rakes flat and holds shape. In New Orleans, Wind, rain, and settling can thin beds and uncover roots near borders. Great for gardens, borders, and any spot where you want a smoother grade and better planting layer. Feather edges into existing grade so mowing and edging stay clean. Delivery is just the practical part—less lifting and fewer trips.
