We got 3 yards of the gardening top soil. It was great quality, not many chunks and seems good for growing, just waiting for all my plants to love it.
We had more than enough soil to fill a raised bed we made and landscaped around a patio. I do wish we could do less than 3 yds delivered but I understand the limitations.
My only concern was we requested it on the top left of our driveway since we had mulch on the other side, they ended up pouring it on top of the mulch (it was covered with a tarp so not ruined) making it difficult to complete our landscaping in a timely fashion.
You can, but it's tougher. Hot soil dries fast and plants stress during transplanting. Water well, work early or late, mulch immediately.
Answer
What soil for containers?
Potting mix, not garden soil. Garden soil compacts in pots and drains poorly. Container plants need the aeration potting mix provides.
Answer
Do I need special soil for vegetables?
Yes—veggies want nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Garden mix enriched with compost produces best results in Springfield.
Answer
Is new soil safe for pets?
Standard soil and compost won't harm pets. Paw cleaning after play is good practice. Skip chemically fertilized soil for dirt-eaters.
Answer
How deep should garden soil be?
Depth varies by use: 6–8 inches for flowers, 10–12 vegetables, 12+ raised beds. Springfield soil conditions favor going deeper.
Answer
How do I fill a raised bed?
For deep beds, start with coarse material (sticks, leaves) at the bottom, then fill with raised bed mix. Leave 2 inches for mulch.
Answer
How often should I add new soil?
Raised beds benefit from yearly compost—couple inches does it. Ground beds with mulch need topping less often.
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
Check soil drainage after filling low spots or creating new beds. Dig a test hole, fill with water, and time how long it takes to drain. More than an hour means poor drainage needs addressing.
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.
The Unique Landscape of Springfield
Good soil helps Springfield plantings establish faster and keeps beds looking tidy after the first few weeks. In Springfield, Foot traffic and weather over time can tighten soil and make planting harder. Helpful for vegetable beds, new borders, and rebuilding spots that eroded or settled. Spread in thin lifts, rake smooth, and water lightly so it settles before planting.
