Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is new soil safe for pets?

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.

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

Can I pick my delivery date?

Definitely. Add to cart, enter your address, and available delivery dates appear. Choose day and time window.

Answer

Should I mix new soil with existing?

Yes—blend the top 4–6 inches where they meet. Sharp transitions create drainage problems. Integration prevents soggy layers.

Answer

Can I leave special instructions?

Yes. Checkout includes space for gate codes, placement specifics, and other delivery details. We read everything.

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.
