We ordered 3 yards of the garden soil, delivered mext day. We used in raised beds 6x3x2. It was more than needed for both but the soil looked good! I added some perlite to add some drainage since this is a little dense.

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 Portland, where native sandy loam soil can be tough to work with, imported soil makes planting much easier.

Answer

Should I order extra?

Always order 10% extra to account for settling. You'd rather have leftover than fall short mid-project.

Answer

How is delivery priced?

We price by distance from our yard. Cart provides an estimate; your complete address at checkout locks in the actual fee.

Answer

Why is my soil compacting?

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

Answer

Do I need to test my soil?

Worth doing. Soil here often tests acidic from leaching. A basic pH check from your extension office informs how to amend.

Answer

How do I improve drainage in heavy soil?

Work in lots of organic material: compost, aged manure, amendments. Portland's rocky glacial soil and short season takes time to fix. Consider raised beds.

Answer

How deep should garden soil be?

Depth varies by use: 6–8 inches for flowers, 10–12 vegetables, 12+ raised beds. Portland soil conditions favor going deeper.

Answer

How do I fix clay soil?

Compost plus gypsum, but skip sand entirely. Organic matter worked into the upper layer gradually improves clay. Takes seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not spread topsoil when rain is forecast in the next day or two. Runoff carries loose soil into streets, storm drains, and neighbors' yards, wasting your material and creating problems.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not use pure topsoil in containers or raised beds without amending it first. It compacts too densely in confined spaces. Mix with compost and perlite for proper drainage and root development.

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.

Good soil helps Portland plantings establish faster and keeps beds looking tidy after the first few weeks. Around Portland, Heavy rains can move material around, so re-leveling with fresh soil helps. Use it for lawn patch prep, bed refreshes, and filling where old mulch was removed. Feather edges into existing grade so mowing and edging stay clean. Delivery keeps the work moving without the loading and unloading.
