Sketch your project area and break it into rectangles, then measure each one in feet. Multiply length by width by your fill depth in feet, and the calculator converts that to cubic yards. For regrading a low spot, measure the deepest point and the shallow edges and use the average depth rather than the deepest number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

My builder scraped the topsoil off my lot. How much do I need to bring back?

For lawn establishment on a scraped Russellville lot, four to six inches of screened topsoil worked into the existing grade is the practical minimum. For vegetable beds, aim for eight to twelve inches of quality soil. Anything less and roots hit compacted subsoil right when summer heat arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between topsoil and garden mix?

Screened topsoil is mineral soil, ideal for filling, leveling and regrading around Russellville yards. Garden mix blends that soil with compost, so it holds nutrients and drains better, which makes it the right choice for raised beds, vegetable rows and new perennial plantings.

Answer

Will adding soil fix the standing water in my back yard?

It helps if the problem is a shallow low spot, which is common on flat lots in the river valley. Fill and regrade so water moves away from the house at about a quarter inch of fall per foot. If water is perched on a dense subsoil layer, you will need drainage work or a raised bed in addition to the soil.

Answer

When should I bring in soil for a new lawn in Russellville?

For warm season grasses like bermuda and zoysia that dominate here, prep soil in late April through June so the sod or seed roots in during warm weather. For fescue in shaded yards, target September, giving roots time before the November 3 first frost. Avoid midsummer, when heat and dry spells punish new roots.

Answer

Do I need to amend Russellville silt loam or can I plant straight into it?

Undisturbed silt loam here is fertile, but it compacts and crusts easily under our rainfall. Mixing two to three inches of compost into the top six inches makes a big difference in structure and drainage. In newer neighborhoods where the topsoil was stripped, you are better off importing soil than amending what is left.

Answer

How many yards of soil fill a raised bed?

A four by eight foot bed filled twelve inches deep takes right at one cubic yard. Two of those beds and you are at two yards. Order about ten percent extra, since garden mix settles noticeably after the first few heavy Russellville rains.

Answer

Can I get soil delivered in winter?

Yes, and winter is a fine time to stockpile for spring projects. Just keep in mind that soil handles poorly when it is frozen or soaked, and Russellville winters swing between both. Aim for a dry stretch, tarp the pile, and plan to spread once things firm up in March.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never work Russellville silt loam when it is wet. Squeeze a handful, and if it forms a slick ribbon instead of crumbling, wait a few more days. Tilling or driving equipment on saturated silt destroys the pore structure and leaves you with a compacted pan that takes years to recover. Given our 50 inches of annual rain, patience is a real gardening skill here.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Blend the new soil into the old rather than laying it on like a blanket. A sharp boundary between imported soil and native silt loam creates an interface where water stops moving, so roots stall at the seam and the top layer stays soggy. Spread half your soil, till or fork it into the top few inches of existing ground, then add the rest and grade. Roots will move straight through.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Grade everything away from your foundation before you plant. Russellville gets long soaking rains, and settled soil against a slab sends that water toward the house instead of out into the yard. Aim for six inches of fall over the first ten feet, keep soil at least six inches below siding, and check the finished grade with a string line and level rather than trusting your eye.

The Unique Landscape of Russellville

Most Russellville yards sit on silt loam, which is genuinely good growing soil until construction traffic and 50 inches of yearly rain compact it into something closer to a driveway. Newer subdivisions around town are especially rough, since the topsoil often gets scraped during grading and homeowners are left planting into subsoil. Bringing in screened topsoil, garden mix or compost rebuilds the depth and structure that vegetables, sod and shrub beds need. It also solves the drainage problem that plagues flat lots in the Arkansas River Valley, where water sits in low spots for days after a storm. In Zone 7b you have a long window from the April 1 last frost to the November 3 first frost, and quality soil is what lets plants actually use that season.
