Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Saint Johns address and unloads right where you point.
Saint Johns sees about 10 inches of precipitation a year. That low amount means topsoil is important for holding moisture in lawns and beds. The organic matter in topsoil helps plants survive dry spells.
Unlike fill dirt, which has no organic content, topsoil is the layer plants grow in. It is the right choice for any project that needs a living soil base. Topsoil from Gravel Monkey is screened and free of debris.
The standard topsoil we carry works for most jobs in Saint Johns. It is a screened, dark loam with organic matter. Use it for lawns, beds, and regrading the growing layer.

About 144 days a year drop below 32F in Saint Johns. That many freezing days can cause the ground to shift and settle. Plan your topsoil work for when the ground is thawed and dry.
Snowfall at about 13 inches a year can affect timing. If you spread topsoil before a heavy snow, plowing can disturb a loose surface. Ground freezing is not a significant factor here, which extends the workable season. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season.
Soils mapped in the Saint Johns area are commonly well drained, so you may need less base stone under your topsoil than in heavier clay areas. The ground around Saint Johns takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.

Yes, we deliver topsoil to Saint Johns and the surrounding area. Saint Johns gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, and topsoil helps hold that moisture. Our delivery trucks cover nearby towns as well.
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. With about 28 days a year bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling delivery when the ground is firm is a good idea for a small load.
We stock one standard topsoil size. It is a screened blend with organic matter. The difference in your order is only the total weight, not the particle size.
