Common questions
How much topsoil for a garden bed?
New vegetable beds want 8–12" of good soil; flower beds 6–8"; overseeding a lawn just ¼–½". A 20×10 bed at 4" needs about 2.5 cubic yards.
How many tons is a yard of topsoil?
Around 1.1 tons per cubic yard dry — wet soil can push 1.3. Screened topsoil is worth the small premium; unscreened arrives with rocks, roots, and regret.
How many bags equal a yard?
A cubic yard is 27 cu ft — that's 36 of the 0.75 cu ft bags. Past three or four bags, bulk delivery wins on price every time.
