Choose the Right Material for the Application

Screened topsoil is a practical choice for lawn preparation, filling low areas, grade adjustments, and other projects that need workable soil. It is not the same as a richer planting mix, so consider what will be growing in the area and whether additional organic material is appropriate.

Premium garden soil is intended for planting-focused projects such as garden beds and raised areas where plants need a better growing medium. White masonry sand serves different project needs and should not be treated as a substitute for planting soil. Our guide to sand, topsoil, and garden soil explains the basic differences.

Before ordering, consider the existing ground, drainage, finished elevation, and whether the material will support turf, ornamental plants, vegetables, masonry, or leveling work. Different applications may require different preparation and material depths, so larger grading or drainage projects may benefit from contractor guidance.

Estimate Quantity Before Ordering

Measure the length and width of each area, then decide the required depth. A shallow lawn adjustment needs far less material than a new planting bed or raised area. Use the bulk material calculator for an initial estimate. Settlement, compaction, uneven grade, and project waste may increase the amount required.

Pickup is available from 820 US 31 S in Alabaster with a suitable truck or trailer. Call ahead so we can confirm the product, quantity, and loading details. For local delivery, review our delivery areas and current rates. Delivery vehicles must stay on paved surfaces.

Soil and Sand Questions

What is screened topsoil used for?

Screened topsoil is commonly considered for lawn preparation, filling low areas, and grade adjustments. The exact application depends on the existing soil and project requirements.

Should I use topsoil or garden soil for planting?
