Where topsoil gets used in Beaverton
Newer subdivisions across the city often finish with only a thin skin of soil over subgrade. Spreading screened topsoil over that layer gives lawn seed and sod something to root into. The same material works for the following jobs:
- Filling and leveling a lawn before reseeding after a wet winter
- Topping off raised vegetable beds and planter boxes
- Building up low spots beside a foundation, away from the wall
- Backfilling around new shrubs and small trees
- Planting strips and side-yard borders that need a clean growing layer
Screening removes the large rocks and clods, so it rakes out flat without a lot of hand picking. Compost can be worked into the soil before planting, and Mulch goes on top of finished beds.
Preparation matters as much as the soil itself. Pull weeds, loosen the top few inches of the existing ground with a rake or tiller, and remove any buried debris before spreading. New soil laid on a hard, smooth surface forms a layer that roots struggle to cross, and water tends to slide off instead of soaking in. Scratching the old surface first lets the two layers knit together, and the lawn or bed settles in with far fewer bare patches in its first season.
How delivery works in Beaverton
The whole order arrives as one pile, so settle on its location while you plan. On a typical Beaverton lot that means the driveway apron or the edge of the pavement nearest the street, with a gate, overhead wire or soft lawn flagged for the driver ahead of time. See the page for delivery in Beaverton for more on how orders reach the city.
Beaverton sits close to other cities we deliver to: Tigard is about 4 miles away, Portland about 7 and Hillsboro about 8.
How much topsoil you need
Measure the bed in feet, then work out the volume. Length times width times the depth in inches, divided by 324, gives cubic yards. One cubic yard of this soil weighs roughly 2,200 pounds, or a little over a ton, so multiply your yardage by about 1.1 to get an order in tons. The calculator does both steps and rounds up for you.
For a typical Beaverton backyard patch of 400 square feet at 3 inches deep, that comes to about 3.7 cubic yards, or roughly 4 tons. Add a small cushion because loose soil settles once it is watered in.
Odd-shaped Beaverton beds are easier to fill in pieces. Split the area into rectangles, work out each one separately and add the totals. For a round bed, treat it as a square measured across its widest points and trim the result by about a fifth.
Ordering topsoil from the product page
Choose Premium Screened Topsoil, enter your ZIP, set the tons and check out. Our Premium Screened Topsoil in Oregon page lists the other cities we serve in the state if you are comparing options across a wider area.
If you are also graveling a path or drainage trench on the same property, Pea Gravel is sold by the ton as well, so the two can be planned in one pass.
What to expect on pricing
Every quote is tied to the ZIP you enter, which is why you will not see a single flat number on this page. Soil is heavy, and the distance the truck runs affects the total. That is why we show the delivered figure instead of a yard price that ignores your street. Add tons and the rate per ton drops, so one larger order usually beats two small ones.

Is screened topsoil the same as fill dirt?
No. Screened topsoil is sifted to remove rocks and lumps and is meant for growing. Fill dirt is a bulk material for raising grade and is not meant for planting. If you only need to raise a low area and will cap it later, ask which fits the job before ordering either one.
Can I put topsoil straight over my existing lawn?
A thin layer, around half an inch to an inch, can be raked over grass to level small dips. Deeper than that smothers the blades. For a larger regrade, strip or till the old turf first, spread the new soil, and reseed so roots connect with the ground below.
How deep should topsoil be for a new lawn in Beaverton?
Most lawns do well with about 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over loosened subsoil. Go toward the thicker end where the ground underneath is mostly builder fill, since a deeper layer holds more water between rains.
Does a vegetable bed need a different depth than a lawn?
Yes, usually deeper. Raised beds and garden rows are happier with 8 to 12 inches of loose soil, because tomatoes, carrots and similar crops send roots well down. Frame the bed first, then fill it in layers and water between passes.
What should I do about soil that stays wet in winter?
Pooling usually means the grade is wrong or the subsoil is dense. Build the finished surface so it falls gently away from buildings. Heavy western Oregon rain can then run off rather than sit, and raised areas dry out sooner than a flat patch.
How can I tell if screened topsoil is good quality?
Test a Beaverton delivery by squeezing a handful when it is slightly damp. Good topsoil is dark, crumbles apart and smells earthy, without large rocks, roots or chunks of clay. It should not feel like sand or form a hard, slick ball. A few small pebbles are normal, but trash or a sour smell is not.
How do I move the pile once it is delivered?
On a Beaverton lot, a wheelbarrow and a flat shovel handle most residential jobs. For several tons, a small skid steer or a few helpers speeds things up. Spread in sections and rake each one level as you go, rather than dumping everything and leveling at the end.
Can I mix topsoil with compost before planting?
Yes. Many gardeners blend about one part compost to three or four parts topsoil for beds. The mix holds moisture longer and feeds plants through the season. Spread both on the surface and turn them together with a fork rather than stacking layers.
