Depth is the variable. Richmond lawn repairs might need 1 inch. A new raised bed on clay loam ground might need a full foot.

Richmond gardeners get a ready-to-use mix that handles everything from raised beds to in-ground plantings. This blend eliminates the guesswork for Richmond gardeners. The balanced formulation handles vegetables, flowers, and ornamentals with the structure, drainage, and nutrition they need.

Trace your project area to estimate soil needs. Shallow applications handle lawn patching and light leveling; deeper fills work better for beds, berms, and grade corrections. Richmond's native clay loam soil often benefits from a quality topsoil layer.
Complete Your Outdoor Soil Project
Build your Richmond beds from the ground up. Soil creates the growing layer, mulch shields it, and stone provides structure for paths and borders.
Pet-safe, yes. Plain soil and compost are fine. Wash paws post-digging. If your pet eats dirt, avoid pre-fertilized products.
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.
Answer
Why is my soil compacting?
Traffic, rain, and insufficient organics compact ground. Richmond's clay loam compacts readily. Annual compost and avoiding wet-soil walking help.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Topsoil color indicates organic content and general quality. Darker soil generally has more organic matter and better fertility. Gray or pale soil usually means poor fertility and drainage issues.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Garden soil and topsoil are different products designed for different uses. Topsoil is screened native soil for general use. Garden soil includes amendments like compost and fertilizer already mixed in.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Let new soil settle for at least two weeks before planting permanent trees and shrubs. Initial settling can leave plants sitting too high or create low spots that collect water around stems.
The Unique Landscape of Richmond
For Richmond raised beds and borders, fresh soil provides a clean, workable layer for planting. In Richmond, It’s normal for beds to settle; topping off soil restores a clean finish. Ideal for leveling small lawn repairs, refreshing beds, and filling after hardscape work. Keep the finish slightly high—soil settles—then touch up after the first good rain. Delivery is just the practical part—less lifting and fewer trips.
