Where topsoil earns its place around Conway
Conway is a college and commuter town of about 70,000 people, and a lot of its housing stock is newer subdivision lots. Builders often leave those yards with thin, compacted fill under the sod. Spreading screened topsoil on top gives grass and shrubs a layer they can actually root into.
- Overseeding or starting a lawn on bare patches
- Filling raised vegetable beds and planter boxes
- Building up around a new foundation or patio edge
- Topping a low spot where water collects after rain
- Prepping a flower border before planting
It is a growing medium, not structural fill. If you are raising grade by a foot or more, put a cheaper base material down first and finish with topsoil on top.
How much topsoil you need
Measure the length and width of the area in feet, pick a depth in inches, then multiply the three and divide by 324. The answer is cubic yards. Because this soil is sold by the ton, convert at roughly 1.1 tons per cubic yard. If you would rather skip the arithmetic, the calculator does both steps for you.
Typical depths run 2 to 4 inches for a lawn top dressing and 6 to 12 inches for a new bed. The smallest order is 2 tons, which covers a modest bed or a few hundred square feet at a thin lawn depth. Round up a little on anything you plan to level by hand, because fresh soil loses volume once it is raked and watered in.
Picking the right spot for the drop
The truck needs a firm surface and clear overhead space to tip a load. A driveway apron or the curb side of a front lawn usually works. In neighborhoods with tight lots, pick the spot closest to where the soil will go, because every extra wheelbarrow trip adds up fast. Tell us about low branches, wires or soft ground when you order so the drop is planned around them.
Topsoil delivery in Conway: how the price works
We deliver by the ton, and the price you see is the delivered price for your ZIP, calculated live on the page. You do not stack a separate trucking line on top. See the details on delivery in Conway for how orders reach your neighborhood.
Larger orders get a lower rate per ton, so combining a lawn and a bed into one load usually beats ordering twice. A neighbor split is a fair way to reach a bigger quantity if two yards need work at once.
Pairing topsoil with other materials
Topsoil often rides along with a second material on the same project. A finished bed gets a layer of Mulch over the soil to hold moisture. Drainage trenches and pathways next to the garden often call for Pea Gravel. Both can be priced for your ZIP the same way.
Spreading it so it stays put
Dump the load in one pile, then move it with a wide landscape rake working from the pile outward. Keep the finished layer even, since thick spots and thin spots dry out at different speeds. On a sloped yard, work across the slope rather than straight down it, and seed or sod soon after so roots can hold the surface in place. Central Arkansas storms can be heavy, so a bare slope left open for a week is the one that washes into the street.
Spring and fall are the easiest seasons for lawn work here, because cooler weather lets new grass settle in before summer heat arrives. Beds and gardens can go in whenever the ground is workable.

About Premium Screened Topsoil
Premium Screened Topsoil is a dark brown, screened soil sold by the ton. Screening takes out the big clods, rocks and root chunks, so the pile spreads evenly and rakes out flat. It is a loose, workable blend that suits new lawn seed, raised beds, garden borders and low spots that need a few inches of fresh growing surface.
A cubic yard of this soil weighs about 2,200 pounds, a little over one ton. That weight is the reason it is sold by the ton rather than by the yard. The delivered price appears for your ZIP before you commit, and larger orders get a lower rate per ton.

How crews use Premium Screened Topsoil in Conway
Crews working out of Conway tend to call for premium screened topsoil on a few repeat jobs each week. The first is planting bed gravel, typically laid in tight urban lots and infill builds with a base lift compacted before the finish course goes on. The second is erosion control, which lands here in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and usually ships as a 4 to 8 ton order. With a population around 70,711, Conway pulls a mix of single-truck homeowner orders and contractor full-loads through the season.
Delivery day in Conway
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Conway stops, and sends a window the night before. Tandem-axle dumps need at least 12 ft of clear width and 14 ft overhead to set the bed; tri-axles need 14 ft of clearance on both counts and a level pad to tip safely. 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.

Is topsoil the same as fill dirt?
No. Topsoil is screened, dark and full of organic matter, so plants root in it. Fill dirt is a cheaper, coarser material meant to raise grade and take up volume. A common approach is fill underneath and a few inches of topsoil on top for the planting layer.
Can I plant straight into delivered topsoil?
Yes for most lawns, annuals and vegetables. Rake it level, water it once to settle it, then seed or plant. For shrubs and trees, mix some of the soil into the native clay at the planting hole instead of sitting the root ball in a pure soil pocket.
What does screened mean for this soil?
The soil is passed through a mesh before loading, which removes large rocks, sticks and hard clumps. You get a more uniform material that spreads smoothly and leaves a clean seedbed. Expect a few small pebbles, since screening reduces them but does not remove everything.
Will the soil arrive wet or dry?
It arrives in whatever moisture state the pile is in, which depends on recent weather. Damp soil is easier to handle and sticks together less when dumped. If it comes very wet, let it sit open for a day or so before spreading, so it crumbles instead of smearing.
Do you sell topsoil by the cubic yard?
Premium screened topsoil in Conway is sold by the ton. One cubic yard runs a bit over one ton, so you can size your area in yards and convert. Conway mulch is sold by the cubic yard.
Can I order less than 2 tons?
In Conway, the smallest topsoil order is 2 tons. For a small container garden or a few planters, that is more than you need, so bagged soil from a garden center is likely a better fit. Beds and lawn repairs usually justify the full load.
How should I store leftover soil?
Pile it on a tarp or a patch of gravel, then cover it with another tarp held down at the edges. That keeps weeds from seeding in and stops rain from washing fines into the driveway. Leftover soil keeps well for the next bed or patching job.
Does the soil need fertilizer?
Often a starter fertilizer at seeding time is enough. Topsoil gives structure and some organic matter, but nutrient levels vary. A cheap soil test through your county extension office tells you what a particular bed needs before you spend on amendments.
