Sizing your order
Every load of topsoil is measured in tons, and an order starts at 2 tons. Work out the area in square feet, multiply it by the depth you want in inches, and divide by 324 for cubic yards. Because the soil weighs roughly 2,200 pounds a yard, you can treat each yard as a bit more than a ton when you convert.
For a worked example, a 10 by 40 foot garden border filled 6 inches deep needs about 7.4 cubic yards, which lands near 8 tons. The calculator will do that conversion for you and take a lot of the guesswork out of picking a quantity. Topsoil placed on a slope loses some depth over the first rains, so add a little on steeper ground.
What the ZIP shows you
Enter the ZIP of the jobsite and the page calculates the delivered price live. The figure already accounts for getting the load to you. As the order grows, the rate per ton drops, which makes a full regrade or a multi-bed project more economical than ordering piecemeal.
Getting the pile where you want it
Terraced and wooded Plymouth properties often have tight driveways and overhead limbs. Walk the approach before you order and look up for branches and wires, then pick a flat spot the truck can reach in a straight line. Nearby Minnetonka and Maple Grove are each 6 miles away, with Brooklyn Park at 8 miles, and Minneapolis and Edina at 10 miles.
A tarp under the pile protects a paver driveway from staining, and a few boards along the edge keep soil from creeping toward the street.
Matching soil to the planting
Different plantings want different things from the soil. Turf is forgiving and mostly needs a level, loose seedbed. Perennials and shrubs do better with a deeper layer, because their roots go down before they spread. Vegetables ask the most, with a rich, crumbly top layer that drains but still holds water between rains.
On the heavy clay common across Plymouth, a raised planting zone also warms earlier in spring and sheds extra water. That is a good reason to build up a foot of mixed soil for a vegetable plot instead of digging into the clay and hoping for the best. Terraces benefit as well, since each level gets its own fresh layer.
A project with a lawn, a border and a terrace usually wants a different depth on each, so run the formula once per area before you settle on a total.
Finishing the bed
Rake to grade, break up any clumps and water lightly. After a couple of weeks, check for low spots and top them off with whatever is left in the pile.
About Premium Screened Topsoil
Premium Screened Topsoil is a dark brown soil that has been run through a screen to remove oversized stones, sticks and hard lumps. It is sold by the ton and is ready to spread for lawns, garden beds, terrace backfill and general grading. The texture is loose enough to rake smooth and firm enough to hold a clean edge along a border or walkway.
Plan on about 2,200 pounds per cubic yard when you convert between volume and weight. The material settles slightly once watered, so most people leave the surface a touch high. Your delivered price appears on the page once you enter a ZIP, and bigger orders come with a lower rate per ton.
What Premium Screened Topsoil costs in Plymouth
Local Plymouth yards quote premium screened topsoil by the ton; the delivered number includes fuel, the truck, and the haul. 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. A ton of this material spreads across about 98 sq ft when laid 3 inches deep, useful when you are sizing a patio base or a walkway run.
How crews use Premium Screened Topsoil in Plymouth
In and around Plymouth, premium screened topsoil shows up most often on two project types. The most common deployment is planting bed gravel, often in tight urban lots and infill builds in two to three inch lifts. Second on the list is erosion control, which we see in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short on partial-truck deliveries. At roughly 78,551 people, the Plymouth order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.
Delivery day in Plymouth
A typical Plymouth drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. 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 this soil suitable for a vegetable garden?
It makes a solid base. For edible crops, blend in compost so the bed has more organic matter, working both into the top several inches.
How do I pick a depth for a new lawn?
Three to four inches over prepared ground is a common target for a new lawn, and one to two inches works for topdressing a thin one. Use the depth in the formula to get tons.
What happens if my order comes up short?
Then place a second order. To avoid the problem, measure each area before you commit, and keep notes on the depth you chose for each one. Ordering a little over is cheaper than a second delivery, and extra soil is easy to use on future beds.
Can I use topsoil behind a retaining wall?
Use it for the top layer only. Behind a wall, the bottom needs free-draining stone so water can escape, and topsoil goes on top to support grass or plants. Ask a landscape pro if the wall is taller than a couple of feet.
Should I till before spreading new soil?
Yes, if the ground underneath is hard. Loosen the surface a few inches so the new layer bonds with it, because a smooth hard base can leave roots sitting in a shallow pocket. A rented tiller or a garden fork will do.
How long can I leave the pile before spreading?
Keep the wait short. An uncovered pile collects weed seed and can wash out in heavy rain. If you cannot spread right away, cover it with a tarp and weigh the corners down so wind does not lift it.
Does the soil need fertilizer?
New grass usually benefits from a starter fertilizer applied at seeding, following the package directions. Gardens vary, so a simple soil test from a local extension office tells you what is actually missing before you add anything.
Can two neighbors order together?
Yes, and it suits two small beds well, since the combined order is bigger. Agree on one delivery spot, split the pile on arrival, and settle up between the households.
