Premium Screened Topsoil Delivery in Broomfield, CO
Bulk premium screened topsoil delivered in Broomfield, CO. Stone size screened. Dark brown color.
Starting from $522.45 delivered to Broomfield for 2 tons, our minimum order
Broomfield sits on the line between Denver's northern suburbs and the Boulder side of the Front Range, and the yards here show it: newer subdivisions with fresh sod to lay, older lots with tired beds, and plenty of open ground waiting for a first garden. If you want topsoil delivery in Broomfield, CO, Premium Screened Topsoil is a dark brown, screened material, sold by the ton and brought to your driveway or job site.
Why screened topsoil suits Broomfield lawns and beds
Builders in newer neighborhoods often leave a thin, compacted layer over clay and rock. Screening removes the big stones, clods and sticks, so what lands on your pad is loose enough to rake flat and spread by hand. That matters when you are patching a bare yard before seeding or building up a bed that has sunk below the edging.
Common jobs for this material around Broomfield:
- Leveling low spots and filling around new sod before the roots take hold
- Filling raised vegetable beds and planters
- Topdressing a thin lawn ahead of overseeding
- Backfilling around retaining walls and fresh plantings
- Building a gentle grade away from a foundation
For mulched beds, pair the soil with Mulch, which is sold by the cubic yard rather than the ton. If you need a hard, draining layer for a path or a patio base, Pea Gravel is sold by the ton like the topsoil.
Preparing the ground before the soil goes down
Good results start under the topsoil. Pull weeds and old sod, rake out loose debris, and score hard patches with a garden fork so the soil can grip what is underneath. If a spot of the lot stays wet after rain, deal with that first, since extra soil will not cure it. Yards of any age can hide compacted subsoil, so this prep is worth the hour.
Once the surface is ready, spread the soil in one pass, rake it level, and walk it lightly so you can spot soft areas before you plant. Seed or sod can follow the same day.
Sizing your Broomfield order
Start with the footprint. In Broomfield, multiply length by width in feet, then by the depth in inches, and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Topsoil weighs about 2,200 pounds per cubic yard, so each yard comes to roughly 1.1 tons. A 20 by 15 foot lawn patch at 3 inches deep works out to just under 3 cubic yards, or about 3 tons. The topsoil calculator does the same arithmetic and saves you the pencil work.
Round up a little. Fresh soil settles after the first watering, and a bed that looks level on delivery day can sink an inch or so by midsummer. The smallest order is 2 tons, which covers a small bed or a few raised planters.
How the delivered price works
Every price on this site is a delivered price. Enter your ZIP in the ordering panel and the live engine shows what the load costs to reach your address. There is nothing to add for trucking afterward. Larger orders get a lower rate per ton, so a whole-yard project usually costs less per ton than a single raised bed.
Delivery to your Broomfield address
Your load arrives by dump truck, so the driver needs a clear approach and a spot to tip. Think about where you want the pile before the truck shows up, and keep cars and play equipment out of the way. Our page on delivery in Broomfield covers what to have ready on the day.
Because the same ordering panel serves the whole metro area, neighbors in Westminster (about 8 miles away) and Thornton (about 7 miles) place orders the same way, though the price you see depends only on your own ZIP.
Handling leftovers and small extras
Most people end up with a little more than they planned. That is useful: keep a few wheelbarrow loads beside the garage to patch dips after the first heavy watering, or to top off a planter in the fall. Store it in a covered corner or under a tarp so it stays workable.
Placing the order
Add at least 2 tons, type your ZIP into the panel and read the delivered price before you pay. If you are planning a larger project across several materials, you can add more than one product before you pay. Homeowners with a single yard and small contractors working several Broomfield sites use the same process.

About Premium Screened Topsoil
Broomfield buyers get Premium Screened Topsoil, a dark brown, screened soil sold by the ton. It is sifted to remove stones, roots and large clods, which leaves a loose, workable material for lawns, garden beds and grade work. Each ton is about two thousand pounds, and one cubic yard weighs roughly 2,200 pounds.
The soil is a good base for planting because it holds moisture without turning to paste. It spreads cleanly with a shovel or a landscape rake, blends with compost or sand, and settles evenly once watered in. Use it as a top layer over prepared ground or as the main fill for raised beds. It is not engineered fill for structural bases, so leave load-bearing work to crushed stone or fill dirt.
In Broomfield, the delivered price for your ZIP is calculated live on the page, and larger topsoil orders get a lower rate per ton.
What Premium Screened Topsoil costs in Broomfield
Around Broomfield, premium screened topsoil is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard. Send your ZIP and load size and we will send back a same-hour quote with the truck rate and the per-ton figure spelled out. Plan on roughly 98 sq ft of coverage per ton at 3 inches deep, which puts a single-car driveway in the 4 to 7 ton bracket.
How crews use Premium Screened Topsoil in Broomfield
Broomfield contractors keep premium screened topsoil on the order sheet for a short list of standard installs. Top of the list is planting bed gravel, where the material is rolled out in tight urban lots and infill builds and screeded to grade. Right behind that is erosion control, common in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and often paired with edging or fabric below the lift. Broomfield sits at about 78,323 residents, which means we see steady weekday traffic from landscape crews and weekend pickups from owner-builders.
Delivery day in Broomfield
Delivery in Broomfield runs out of the nearest pit; you get a two hour arrival window the evening prior and a call when the driver leaves the scale. Plan for 12 ft of clear path for a tandem and 14 ft for a tri-axle, plus a level area at the dump point so the bed lifts straight. Standard lead time on this lane is Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.

What does screened topsoil mean?
Screened means the soil has been run over a mesh so large rocks, roots and hard clods are filtered out. What is left is a fine, dark material that spreads easily and mixes well with existing ground. It is not sterile fill, so you will still see small organic bits, which is normal and good for plants.
Is topsoil enough for a brand new lawn?
Topsoil gives seed or sod a loose, workable layer, but the ground beneath still matters. If the subsoil is hard clay, break it up with a rake or tiller before spreading. Without that step, water tends to pool at the boundary and roots stay shallow.
Can I mix topsoil with compost for a vegetable bed?
Yes, many gardeners blend about two parts topsoil with one part compost is sold by the cubic yard while topsoil is sold by the ton, so convert your volume before ordering. Mix the two with a shovel or a tiller rather than layering them, since layers drain unevenly.
What depth of topsoil should I spread?
For leveling and patching, 2 to 3 inches is usual. A new lawn over poor ground does better with 4 to 6 inches. Garden beds often want 8 to 12 inches. Going thinner than 2 inches tends to dry out quickly, so a shallow cover over rocky ground rarely holds seed or roots.
How far does 2 tons spread at a 3 inch depth?
At 3 inches deep, 2 tons covers roughly 195 square feet, about a 14 by 14 foot patch. At 6 inches the same load covers about half that. Use those figures to judge whether the minimum suits a small bed or only part of a lawn.
Is one pile enough for several small jobs?
Yes. The load arrives as a single pile, so you can use part of it to level a lawn dip and the rest to top off a bed or planter. Spread the larger job first, then see how much is left for the smaller ones.
Can I order less than 2 tons?
No. Broomfield topsoil orders begin at 2 tons. If your project is tiny, such as topping up one planter, measure carefully, because 2 tons covers more ground than most people expect, and leftover soil is easy to use on a nearby bed.
What should I do with the pile if I cannot spread it right away?
Leave it on a flat spot away from the curb and drains so rain does not wash soil into the street. A tarp over the top keeps it from crusting or blowing. Spreading it within a few days is best, since weeds will start to seed on an open pile.
