What to order
- Grading Soil
For the rough grade and the layer beneath sod, before the finished topsoil goes down.
- Screened Topsoil
For the finished surface under new sod or a seed bed. Screened so it rakes and spreads.
See the full soil list.
Sod Preparation
Screened topsoil and grading soil for new sod and seed beds, delivered to the property. Tell us the yards and we will quote the load.
How much to order
A usual finished layer for new sod or seed is about 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over a graded base. That is a general guide, not a fixed depth for every property.
Measure length, width, and depth in feet. Cubic yards are length times width times depth, divided by 27. Four inches is about one third of a foot. Six inches is half a foot. Send that yardage with the quote and we will confirm the delivered load.
Levelling
- Rake high spots into the low spots until the surface is even.
- Slope the grade so water moves away from the house.
- Firm the surface. Loose soil settles after the sod or seed is down.
- Swirl marks from raking are normal on a levelled bed. What matters is an even surface.
