Topsoil Delivery in Utah County & Salt Lake County

Topsoil for ground that grows something

Topsoil is the one material we haul that’s judged by what happens six months later. Gravel either compacts or it doesn’t; topsoil either grows a lawn or grows weeds and regret. We deliver screened topsoil throughout Lehi, Utah County, and into the Salt Lake Valley, and we’d rather spend two minutes on the phone getting the depth and quantity right than dump you a short pile of the wrong product.

Sizing the order: the only math you need

One cubic yard of topsoil covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. That single number sizes almost every job:

• New 2,000 sq ft lawn at 3” — about 20 yards, two to three truckloads
• Topdressing an existing lawn at 1/2” — 1 yard per ~600 sq ft; a typical front yard takes 2–3 yards
• A 4’ × 12’ garden bed filled 10” deep — about 1.5 yards
• Final grade on a new-construction lot — measure it, but 15–30 yards is the common range for a quarter-acre lot after the builder’s “landscaping-ready” grade turns out to be rocks

A 10-wheel truck hauls 7–10 yards of topsoil per trip — soil is lighter than rock, so the bed fills before the axles complain. Check your own dimensions against the calculator before ordering; the most common mistake is ordering by guess and coming up 30% short at the far corner of the yard.

Screened vs unscreened: pay for screening where it counts

Screened topsoil has been run over a screen that pulls rocks, roots, and clay clods, leaving material you can rake smooth and seed directly. Unscreened is raw stockpile — noticeably cheaper, and noticeably full of surprises. Our rule: anything you’ll rake to a finish grade (seed, sod, garden beds) gets screened. Bulk-building a berm or filling deep planters where the top 4 inches will be screened anyway? Unscreened or even fill dirt underneath saves real money. Layering cheap material below and good material on top is how landscapers buy dirt, and there’s no reason homeowners shouldn’t do the same.

The Utah clay problem

Most building lots from Saratoga Springs to Orem sit on heavy clay that got compacted by a year of construction traffic. Spreading topsoil straight over that surface creates a hard interface — water and roots stop dead at the clay line. The fix costs one extra step: rip or till the top couple inches of the existing grade before the topsoil goes down, and if it’s a lawn or garden you care about, till 1–2 inches of compost into the new topsoil. Four inches of topsoil over scarified clay outperforms eight inches dumped over a smeared, sealed surface. We’ve watched both versions play out across the county; the prep step is the difference.

For builders and landscape crews

Landscapers and homebuilders are most of our spring volume: multi-load final-grade packages, scheduled so the soil shows up the day the crew is ready to spread, not the week before (a rained-on topsoil pile turns into a mud monument). If the lot also needs base material for hardscape, we’ll bring gravel and road base on the same schedule and combine the trucking. And if there’s junk grade or construction debris to get rid of first, one call covers the haul-off too.

Spring slots go fast — the whole county seeds in the same six weeks. Call or text (385) 284-6232 with your square footage and target depth, and we’ll quote it delivered and tell you exactly how many loads to expect.
