A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

This screened topsoil is the foundation for healthy Wilmington landscapes. Clean and uniform, it spreads easily for lawn leveling, garden prep, and general soil improvement projects throughout your property. Good topsoil creates the foundation for everything that follows. Lawns establish faster, plants root deeper, and Wilmington gardens perform better when they start with quality material underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Should I mix new soil with existing?

Yes, integrate the layers. Separate soil zones cause drainage issues. Till or fork new and old soil together at the boundary.

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under soil?

Fabric isn't ideal under growing areas. Cardboard smothers grass better and biodegrades. Use fabric under gravel, not gardens.

Answer

How do I prepare the area before adding soil?

Weed first, then loosen the existing soil several inches down. This helps new soil integrate—important with Wilmington's piedmont-coastal transition.

Answer

Is bagged soil or bulk better?

Bulk is more economical and typically better material. Bagged soil is really just for containers and minor repairs.

Answer

Why is my soil compacting?

Walking on beds, rainfall, and low organic content cause compaction. Wilmington's silt loam is prone to this. Regular compost additions help.

Answer

Can I add soil in summer?

It's doable but harder. Soil dries faster and plants struggle in heat. Work mornings or evenings, keep things moist, mulch quickly.

Answer

Should I remove existing soil first?

Not typically. Loosen what's there and incorporate new soil. Remove only contaminated or hopelessly compacted ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Skip the topsoil entirely for topdressing established lawns. Grass cannot push through more than about half an inch of new material. Use fine compost for lawn top-dressing instead of soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Tamp soil lightly after spreading in areas that will receive foot traffic or heavy use. Use a hand tamper or lawn roller filled halfway with water, but avoid over-compacting which prevents healthy root growth.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Spread soil when it is slightly moist, not soaking wet or bone dry. Wet soil clumps together and compacts badly under foot traffic. Dry soil blows away in wind and will not blend properly with existing ground.

The Unique Landscape of Wilmington

Wilmington projects move faster when you can level, plant, and water into a clean soil layer. Seasonal swings can compact areas and expose roots, especially along edges and slopes. Great for gardens, borders, and any spot where you want a smoother grade and better planting layer. Finish to a gentle grade and water it in to help it firm up naturally. Delivery is just the practical part—less lifting and fewer trips.
