What Screened Topsoil is

Dark, fertile topsoil screened through ½" mesh — minimal stones, no clay clumps. Organic content supports immediate seed germination without amendment. Double-screened means what you get is clean and ready to spread.

Also called: screened topsoil, black dirt, garden soil, lawn soil.

What it’s used for

Lawn establishment & overseeding
Garden beds & raised planters
Grading finish & low spot repair
Erosion control seeding prep

Not a fit for Under concrete, pavers, or structural fill — soft organic material settles under load. Always cap topsoil over structural fill, never replace it.

How much screened topsoil do I need?

Work in cubic yards: length × width × depth in feet, divided by 27. Screened Topsoil runs about 1.30 tons per cubic yard for estimating purposes. Dispatch confirms the assigned truck and load quantity. This table gives the coverage for a single cubic yard at common depths.

Depth	1 cubic yard covers	Per 100 sq ft
2"	162 sq ft	0.6 yd³ · 0.8 tons
3"	108 sq ft	0.9 yd³ · 1.2 tons
4"	81 sq ft	1.2 yd³ · 1.6 tons
6"	54 sq ft	1.9 yd³ · 2.4 tons
12"	27 sq ft	3.7 yd³ · 4.8 tons

Confirm the placement depth and any compaction or waste allowance for the material before ordering. The driveway gravel calculator will do the whole thing for you, including how many trucks it takes, and the full materials calculator can size an order from a total quantity instead of dimensions.

Common Questions

Screened Topsoil questions

How much topsoil do I need for a new lawn?

Plan on 3–4 inches over the finished grade. At 3 inches, one cubic yard covers about 108 square feet — so a 2,000 sq ft yard needs roughly 19 cubic yards, or about 24 tons. Our load calculator will run your exact numbers.

Is your topsoil screened?

Yes — everything we sell as topsoil goes through a ½" screen twice. That pulls out roots, rocks, and clay balls. Unscreened dirt is a different product; if you just need volume under a structure, fill dirt is cheaper and compacts better.

Can I put topsoil under a patio or driveway?

No. Topsoil holds organic matter, which decomposes and settles under load. It belongs in the top few inches where things grow. Use crusher run or fill dirt for anything structural, then cap with topsoil if you are seeding alongside.

Most jobs take more than one material — a base layer, a surface, and something to finish the grade. See the full list →
