Our full line is listed on the Premium Screened Topsoil in WY page.
What the price looks like for Cheyenne orders
Topsoil is priced by the ton, and the smallest order is 2 tons. Enter your ZIP and the delivered price appears for your address, calculated for that location rather than shown as a general figure for the city. Bigger orders carry a lower rate per ton, so the rate you pay for each ton drops as the order grows.
How much topsoil to order in Cheyenne
Start with the length and width of the area in feet, then choose a depth in inches. Multiply the three numbers together and divide by 324 to find cubic yards. For example, a 30 by 12 foot bed filled 4 inches deep needs about 4.4 cubic yards, which lands near 5 tons at this topsoil's weight of about 2,200 pounds per yard.
Plan for the material to settle. Once topsoil is wet and walked on, it compresses, so the finished grade ends up lower than the height of the pile. Order a bit above the calculated figure to keep the finished surface even. Use the calculator on our site if you want a quick estimate before you commit.
A bed with curves or an odd outline is easier to estimate by breaking it into a few simple blocks, so sketch it on paper first. Keep a note of each measurement so you can check the total if the numbers look off.
Good uses for topsoil in Cheyenne yards
Clear the ground first. Strip out dead grass, pull weeds by the root, and rake the surface so it is loose enough for the new layer to knit with it.
Lawn renovation is the most common reason to order. Thin or patchy turf benefits from a fresh layer of loose soil worked into the surface before reseeding. Vegetable and flower beds also take topsoil well, especially on ground that was scraped during a build. Low spots and uneven yards can be leveled with the same material, one layer at a time. Shrub borders and foundation beds are another good match, since a deeper bed gives new plantings room to establish.
Two other products fit a topsoil project. Mulch is measured in cubic yards and goes on top of finished beds. Pea Gravel is bought by the ton and makes a stable walkway beside a new lawn.

Ordering topsoil for Cheyenne delivery
Pick the drop spot before the truck arrives. The driver needs a route wide enough for the vehicle, a firm surface to unload onto, and a spot clear of sprinkler heads, shallow lines, and garden edging. Mark the spot with a stake or a bit of flagging so the load lands where you intend.

What to check when the load arrives
Good topsoil is an even dark brown, damp enough to hold together in your hand but not soggy. Squeeze a handful: it should crumble apart when you open your fingers. Spread a shovelful on a tarp or a patch of pavement if you want a closer look in good light. Scan the pile for large stones, chunks of clay, and pieces of wood or concrete. A few small stones are normal in screened material, but a pile full of them is not.
About Premium Screened Topsoil
About this material
This topsoil is screened, dark brown, and sold by the ton. Screening removes most of the large stones, sticks, and clumps, leaving a material that is easier to spread and grade than unscreened fill. A cubic yard weighs about 2,200 pounds, so a ton covers a little less than a full yard. Keep that in mind when you plan the number of loads and the spot for the pile.
Gardeners and landscapers use this kind of topsoil to build up the root zone under new turf, fill shallow planting beds, and improve the top layer over compacted ground. It holds moisture better than sand and drains more freely than dense clay, which is why it sits between those two extremes in most garden soil mixes.
What Premium Screened Topsoil costs in Cheyenne
In the Cheyenne 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 Cheyenne
Crews working out of Cheyenne 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 65,704, Cheyenne pulls a mix of single-truck homeowner orders and contractor full-loads through the season.
Delivery day in Cheyenne
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Cheyenne 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.

How can I tell if my yard needs topsoil or a different fix?
Dig a small test hole about 8 inches deep and look at the layers. If you find only a thin dark band over clay, gravel, or fill, the grass has little to root into and topsoil will help. If the soil is deep and healthy but the grass is weak, the problem is more likely watering, shade, or compaction, and a soil test through a local extension office will point to the right fix.
Can topsoil go inside a wood-framed raised bed?
Yes, that works well. Line the bottom of the frame with cardboard or landscape fabric if you want to slow weeds from coming up through the bed. Fill the frame in layers, watering each one lightly, and mix in compost for vegetables. Beds like this need a fresh top layer every season, since the level slowly drops as the material breaks down and gets carried away by watering.
Is topsoil better than bagged garden soil for a small project?
For a few cubic feet, bagged garden soil is easier to handle and lets you buy only what you need. Bulk topsoil is measured in tons and makes more sense once a job reaches several cubic yards, since you avoid repeated store runs. Bags are often blended products, so check the label for what is mixed in before choosing one.
Does topsoil help heavy clay soil in Cheyenne yards?
It helps the top layer, but it does not change the clay below. Blend a few inches of topsoil into the existing surface, and roots get a looser start that drains better than the native ground. For long-term improvement, add organic matter each year, such as compost or leaf mold, so the upper layer keeps its structure.
How long should I water a newly spread topsoil layer?
Water lightly and often for the first couple of weeks, aiming to keep the top inch damp rather than soaked. Heavy watering can wash the layer downhill or form a crust that blocks seed. Once seed or sod roots down, shift to deeper, less frequent watering so the roots reach into the new layer. Cheyenne's dry air and wind can dry the surface quickly, so check it daily early on.
Can I put topsoil on a slope without it washing away?
Thin layers on gentle slopes hold better than deep piles on steep ones. Work the material into the surface in small sections, seed or sod right away, and cover bare patches with a light straw layer while the roots establish. On steep banks, plan for erosion control such as a pinned erosion blanket before you spread.
What can a 2-ton minimum cover on a small Cheyenne project?
Two tons is roughly 2 cubic yards of this topsoil, enough to cover about 160 square feet at a depth of 4 inches. That suits a couple of garden beds, a patched lawn corner, or a new sod strip along a driveway. For sod, a layer of 2 to 3 inches under the rolls is usually plenty, so the same load stretches over a larger area.
Can topsoil bring weed seeds into my yard?
It can, since any soil carries some seed from the ground it came from, and wind can add more over time. Stay ahead of it by pulling any weeds that emerge in the first season, then keep the new layer covered with grass, mulch, or ground cover. Pre-emergent products can help in beds, but check that they will not harm new seed before you apply them.
