Starting from $530.87 delivered to Florissant for 2 tons, our minimum order
Topsoil delivery in Florissant, MO usually starts with one of two jobs: patching a lawn that has worn thin or rebuilding a garden bed that has sunk below the grass line. Premium Screened Topsoil is a dark, screened product sold by the ton, and each order is priced for the Florissant address it is going to.
Best Uses for Screened Topsoil in Florissant
Three common jobs suit this topsoil:
- Thickening a thin cool-season lawn before reseeding.
- Raising the soil level in perennial and shrub beds.
- Leveling a patch where a downspout or driveway runoff has cut a channel.
Work the soil when it is dry enough to crumble in your hand. Clay that is soaked will smear and pack down under foot traffic, which undoes the loosening you were after.
Topsoil Delivery in Florissant, MO
Florissant is a city of about 51,000 people in St. Louis County. St. Charles sits about 10 miles away, Saint Louis about 14 miles, St. Peters about 15 miles, and O'Fallon about 21 miles from Florissant. Clay is common across the St. Louis area, so a layer of screened topsoil gives seed and plants a looser root zone above the native ground. A level finish keeps water moving away from the house, so check that the ground falls away from the foundation before you start.
How Much Topsoil to Order in Florissant
Start with the area in square feet and the depth you want. Convert depth to inches, multiply area by depth, and divide by 324 to reach cubic yards. This topsoil weighs roughly 2,200 lb per cubic yard, so one ton of it fills nearly a cubic yard. A 300 square foot lawn repair at 2 inches deep comes to about 1.9 cubic yards, or roughly 2 tons. Pad the figure a little to allow for the soil compressing once it has been watered, then round to the nearest half ton. Use the calculator to run the same math with your own measurements.
Pricing Notes for Florissant Topsoil Orders
You will see a delivered price for your ZIP code before you commit, and that figure already includes the trip to your address. The rate per ton drops as the order grows, so a full load often works out cheaper per ton than two small runs. For Florissant topsoil, two tons is the smallest order.
Laying Down the Soil in Florissant
Tip the soil out in small heaps across the area, then pull each heap flat with a rake until the surface matches the grade around it. Drawing a straight board across the top shows any ridges the rake missed. Finish with a gentle watering, and flag any spot that still looks high or low so it can be fixed while the soil moves easily.
Delivery Access in Florissant
Before you order, pick the spot where the load should land. Choose a flat area the truck can reach without crossing soft lawn, and check for overhead wires, tree limbs, or a narrow side yard gate. The closer the pile sits to the planting area, the less wheelbarrow work you will do. Details for the city are on the delivery in Florissant page.
Preparing the Ground in Florissant
Remove sticks, stones, and leftover building debris from the surface. Edge the bed or lawn area so the topsoil stays where you put it. Rake the existing soil loose so the new layer blends into it, and where a vehicle or construction route has packed the ground hard, work a fork or tiller about four inches down, because a packed surface sheds water instead of absorbing it.

About Premium Screened Topsoil
About this material
This is a dark, screened topsoil sold under the name Premium Screened Topsoil. The screen leaves a fine, consistent texture, which means the soil rakes out evenly across a lawn patch or a bed and does not leave clumps behind for you to break up later.
Because the material is screened and dark, it stands out from the paler subsoil found under many yards. That color gap makes it easy to see your coverage as you work, especially along edges where new soil meets old turf.
Plan on using it for the surface of lawns, garden beds, and small leveling jobs. For filling a deep hole or building up a grade under a slab, a heavier fill material is the better fit, and this topsoil is not intended to carry that load.
What Premium Screened Topsoil costs in Florissant
In the Florissant market, premium screened topsoil is sold by the ton and priced at the gate before delivery is added on. 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. One ton covers about 98 sq ft at a 3 inch finished depth, so a 400 sq ft driveway pad runs roughly 5 tons.
How crews use Premium Screened Topsoil in Florissant
Crews working out of Florissant 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 51,290, Florissant pulls a mix of single-truck homeowner orders and contractor full-loads through the season.
Delivery day in Florissant
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Florissant 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.

What does screened mean for this topsoil?
Screening passes the soil over a mesh so large stones, roots, and clods are pulled out before loading. What remains is a finer, more even material that rakes level and settles into a seedbed without big gaps. It does not mean the soil is sterile or free of every small pebble, so expect to find a few in the pile as you work.
How deep should topsoil be before I lay sod?
A layer of about two to four inches of loose soil is a common target under sod. That is thick enough for roots to enter and thin enough that the finished lawn stays level with walks and curbs. Rake it smooth and firm it lightly before the sod goes down, so the turf rests on even ground instead of soft pockets.
Should I cover the pile if rain is forecast?
A tarp over the pile keeps heavy rain from turning it to mud and washing fine material onto the driveway or street. Weigh the edges down with boards or bricks. If the pile has already soaked, let the surface dry for a day or two before raking, because wet soil clumps and leaves lumpy patches behind.
What can I do with soil left over after the job?
Use it to top up low spots, fill pots and planters, or raise the edge of a bed. If a lot remains, spread it thinly across the lawn and seed over it rather than leaving a mound. A loose heap left sitting on bare ground grows weeds and can wash away in a storm.
Should I seed right after spreading, or let the soil rest?
You can seed once the surface is level and lightly firmed. Letting it rest for a few days gives you a chance to see where the soil settles and to fill any dips before the grass comes up. Press the seed into the surface with a roller or the back of a rake, then water lightly.
How do I keep topsoil from washing off a sloped yard?
Rake across the slope instead of up and down, so each pass forms a small step that catches runoff. Seed quickly and cover the area with a thin layer of straw to hold the surface during storms. On a steeper bank, a row of edging or a low timber border at the bottom keeps soil from reaching the walk.
Will the color of the soil change after it is spread?
Yes. Dark brown topsoil looks richest when it is damp and lightens as the surface dries in sun and wind. A pale crust on top does not mean the load was poor. Scratch below the surface, and you will see the same dark, fine material that was in the pile.
Can I plant shrubs straight into a fresh layer of topsoil?
Dig each planting hole through the new layer and into the native ground below, so roots are not confined to a pocket of loose soil. Set the plant at the same depth it grew in the pot, backfill with a mix of old and new soil, and water well. A shrub planted only in the new layer can settle and lean.
