About this soil

Screened topsoil with a fine, even texture. Ideal for new lawns, sod prep, and raised garden beds.

Good quality top soil and was delivered exactly where I wanted it. Nice Job!

For lawn repair and overseeding, one to two inches is enough. For new beds or rebuilding a compacted North Ridgeville lawn area, plan on four to six inches so roots have somewhere to go before they hit hardpan.

Measure length and width of the area, then decide your finished depth in inches before running the numbers. For regrading a dip, measure the deepest point and average it against the shallow edges rather than using the deepest reading throughout. Our calculator converts square footage and depth into cubic yards so you order once instead of twice.

Add compost to blend into the top layer for better structure in silt loam, and grab mulch to cap finished beds so the fresh soil does not crust over in the first heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Why is my yard soil so hard when the builder said it was topsoil?

Most North Ridgeville subdivisions got two to three inches of screened material spread over heavily compacted subgrade after construction traffic. Underneath that thin layer, the silt loam is pressed tight enough that roots cannot penetrate it, which is why grass browns out fast in July even after decent rain.

Answer

When can I start working soil in the spring here?

Wait until the silt loam crumbles instead of smearing, which locally is usually mid to late April. Working wet silt loam destroys its structure and creates concrete like clods that last all season. Our last frost averages April 30, so there is no rush to plant anyway.

Answer

How deep should new topsoil be for a lawn?

Aim for four to six inches of quality soil over loosened subgrade. Anything thinner and roots hit the compacted layer within weeks, which is the main reason so many North Ridgeville lawns thin out during the dry stretch in late summer.

Answer

What soil should I use for raised vegetable beds?

A garden blend of screened topsoil and compost works well in North Ridgeville, because straight native silt loam holds too much water in a raised box during our wet spring. The blend drains faster and warms sooner, which matters when you are trying to squeeze tomatoes into a season that ends near October 22.

Answer

Can I use fill dirt to fix a low spot in my backyard?

Yes, use fill dirt for the bulk of the depth and cap it with four inches of screened topsoil. Given how flat much of North Ridgeville is, even a two inch grade change over ten feet makes a real difference in whether water sits after a storm.

Answer

How much does a yard of soil weigh?

Screened topsoil runs roughly 2,000 to 2,400 pounds per cubic yard dry, and considerably more after one of our soaking rains. Plan on moving it promptly and covering the pile with a tarp if rain is in the forecast, otherwise it turns into a heavy, sticky mess.

Answer

Do I need to test my soil before adding more?

It is worth doing. Northern Ohio silt loam often runs slightly acidic to neutral and is typically fine on phosphorus but short on organic matter. A basic test through the county extension office tells you whether you need lime, compost, or simply more depth before you start hauling.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not just dump new soil on top of hard ground. Break up the existing surface with a garden fork or core aerator first, then blend the bottom inch or two of new soil into it. Otherwise you create a distinct layer boundary, and water perches at that seam instead of draining through. In North Ridgeville's silt loam, that perched layer is exactly what drowns new grass roots.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fall is the underrated season for soil work here. From early September through mid October, the ground is warm, the rain is more reliable than in August, and weed pressure has dropped off. Spread and grade soil then, seed by late September, and you get root establishment before our October 22 first frost without fighting the mud that defines a North Ridgeville April.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Keep organic matter coming every year. Silt loam has good mineral fertility but burns through organic matter fast under warm, moist conditions. A half inch of compost raked into beds each spring keeps the soil crumbly, feeds earthworms, and prevents the surface crusting that makes water run off instead of soaking in. It is a small annual habit that compounds over five or six seasons.

The Unique Landscape of North Ridgeville

Most North Ridgeville lots were graded and scraped during construction, which means the good topsoil got hauled off and thin fill was spread over compacted subsoil. What is left is a silt loam that is naturally fertile but dense, slow draining, and quick to crust over under our 38 inches of yearly rain. Bringing in screened topsoil or a soil and compost blend rebuilds the six to eight inches of root zone that lawns, vegetable beds, and new plantings actually need. At 725 feet with very little natural slope in much of the city, adding soil is also how homeowners here regrade low spots and pitch water away from foundations. And in Zone 6b, with a growing window from roughly April 30 to October 22, a deep, loose root zone is what lets plants take full advantage of a short season.
