How do I figure out how much topsoil I need?

Chevron Arrow

You can determine your needs in a few ways:

  • Use our Material Calculator.
  • Try this quick formula: Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (inches) ÷ 324 = Cubic Yards
  • Contact us directly—we’re happy to help you calculate it!

What is the maximum amount your trucks can haul?

Chevron Arrow

We have two truck options to meet your needs:

  • Single axle truck: holds up to 9 cubic yards
  • Quad axle truck: holds up to 25 cubic yards

What if I need more material than the small truck can carry, but can’t accommodate a larger truck?

Chevron Arrow

No problem! We can make multiple trips with our smaller truck to meet your needs. Please note that each delivery will have a separate fee.


Do you offer installation or spreading services?

Chevron Arrow

We’re committed to providing high-quality materials and reliable delivery, and do not offer installation or spreading services at this time.


Ordering & Payment

What forms of payment do you accept?

Chevron Arrow

As a contactless company, we accept only digital payments—credit or debit cards. We do not accept cash or checks.


How far in advance do I need to place my order?

Chevron Arrow

We ask that orders be placed at least 24 hours in advance of your preferred delivery time.


Can I cancel or reschedule my delivery?

Chevron Arrow

Yes, you can. If you need to cancel or make changes to your order, please contact us as soon as possible at 314-937-SOIL (314-937-7645) between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Please note that cancellations made too close to the scheduled delivery time may be subject to a fee.


Delivery & Drop-Off Details

Do I need to be home during delivery?

Chevron Arrow

We prefer that someone 18 or older is present at the time of delivery, but we understand that’s not always possible. If that’s the case, please clearly mark your preferred drop-off spot with a cone, flag, tape, or marking paint so our driver knows where to go.


Can you dump the material in my driveway?

Chevron Arrow

Usually, yes. Our drivers do their best to accommodate driveway drop-offs, but final placement is up to their discretion based on safety and protecting your property. They’ll consider factors such as:

  • Narrow driveways
  • Low-hanging wires or branches
  • Retaining walls, downspouts, or uneven surfaces

Can you drop off the material in my yard?

Chevron Arrow

To avoid damage to your lawn or underground utilities, we do not drive on grass or yard areas. This helps prevent ruts and other potential issues.


What if I don’t want the material dumped on my driveway?

Chevron Arrow

We offer a bulk bag delivery option if you’d prefer not to have loose material dropped. Each bag holds 1 yard and is delivered on a pallet, which can be placed in an accessible location.


Can I pick up the material myself?

Chevron Arrow

Yes, pickup is available. While we’re happy to handle delivery for you, you’re welcome to pick up your order using a truck and trailer or larger vehicle. There is a minimum for pickup of 4 yards. Also, please note that due to the weight, a standard vehicle isn’t suitable for transport.
