“Eight yards of top soil for the common area lawn at our little condo association up in Ketchum, where gopher holes had left the ground lumpy for years. Spread it with rakes over a weekend and reseeded right after. Owners have already noticed the difference walking to the mailboxes, and the mower doesn't catch on hidden dips anymore either.”

Ground conditions differ across the Palouse, the Panhandle, and the Treasure Valley. Water holding soils need a settled drainage plan before a planting layer is added, while gravelly ground may shed moisture more readily. Top Soil works as the upper growing layer for a new lawn, garden bed, or landscape planting rather than a material for changing site drainage.
Screening gives Top Soil an even, workable texture with no rock, debris, or large clods. Spread it across a prepared area, rake it to the planned grade, and plant into it promptly. Completing the layout before placement is especially useful where moderate frost can leave a finished surface needing seasonal attention. It is also suitable for improving soil in established planting spaces.

Common Uses
Lawn Establishment & Repair
For sod installation, thin-lawn overseeding, and low-area correction, topsoil provides the working layer. Spread it 2-4 inches deep to give grass roots room to establish and produce a dense green lawn.
Raised Beds and Garden Plots
For vegetable, herb, and flower plantings, place screened topsoil in raised beds and garden areas to form a workable growing layer. Its fine texture is simple to shape and gives roots space to develop.
Grading & Leveling
Use topsoil to correct low areas, soften uneven ground, and finish drainage slopes near buildings and other structures. It firms with compaction while remaining permeable to water.
Planting Trees and Shrubs
For tree and shrub installation, mix topsoil into the native soil to improve the backfill structure and aid establishment through the first stage of growth.
Why Choose Top Soil
Growing Medium
Topsoil forms a structured base for turf, garden areas, and ornamental beds. It provides rooting space for plant establishment.
Evenly Screened Soil
Mechanical screening takes rocks, roots, and debris out of each topsoil load. This leaves a smooth, consistent material that spreads and handles easily.
Uses Across Many Projects
Topsoil suits projects ranging from home gardens to larger commercial work. It can be used in any climate for nearly every kind of plant.
Bulk Ordering
Compared with bagged material, bulk topsoil can be a lower-cost option for broad coverage areas, with delivery to your property.

Common area lawn is finally even again
Eight yards of top soil for the common area lawn at our little condo association up in Ketchum, where gopher holes had left the ground lumpy for years. Spread it with rakes over a weekend and reseeded right after. Owners have already noticed the difference walking to the mailboxes, and the mower doesn't catch on hidden dips anymore either.

Almost enough topsoil for the whole yard
Six yards of top soil to level the yard after our new build settled out in Blackfoot. The online calculator came up just short and we had to order one more yard before the sod crew could finish the back corner. Screened clean otherwise, no rocks to rake out, and the new grass took root within two weeks.

Volunteer crew regraded the field before fall sports
The elementary school's PTA out in Twin Falls organized a work day to fix the low, boggy corner of the soccer field that had been unusable most springs. Twenty yards of top soil, ordered through Idaho Rock Supply since they could deliver on a Saturday when volunteers were actually available, went down over drain rock a contractor had donated the week before. A dozen parents showed up with rakes and wheelbarrows and had it graded by early afternoon. Grass seed went in that same day, and by the time fall practices started the field was solid enough for the whole team to scrimmage on without a single muddy patch.

Grass finally covers the old stump
The old silver maple stump out front finally got ground down by a guy my neighbor recommended, and we filled the crater with a yard of Top Soil. Grass has already filled in solid, no more bald spot at all.

New sod finally has soil to root in
Twelve yards of top soil went down over the builder grade dirt left behind after our new build in Rexburg, delivered by Idaho Rock Supply two days ahead of schedule. Screened fine with no rocks or clay clumps, which made raking it level before the sod crew showed up a lot easier than I expected. Grass rooted in fast and the yard has stayed green through its first full summer.
