Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Nevada City address and unloads right where you point.
Nevada County properties, from hillside homes to flat lots, often need topsoil to improve growing conditions. With about 53 inches of rainfall a year, drainage and washout planning becomes a real consideration when placing new topsoil.
For filling raised beds, resurfacing a lawn, or regrading the growing layer, getting the right material delivered saves a trip to a yard. Gravel Monkey delivers topsoil by the ton to Nevada City addresses.
Our topsoil is a screened blend of organic matter and sandy loam, well suited for planting areas. Choose the material that fits your project.

Each job needs a different depth and amount. Plan based on the condition you are correcting.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | Fill beds to planting depth, then water to settle. |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | Light layer to cover seed without smothering it. |
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill depressions to match surrounding grade. |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | Spread to achieve desired slope and cover exposed subsoil. |
| New lawn | Topsoil | Uniform depth for seed or sod, then roll lightly. |
Nevada City sees about 58 days a year with temperatures below freezing. This freeze-thaw cycle can unsettle a shallow topsoil layer, so waiting until the ground is consistently thawed gives the material time to settle.
About 7 inches of snow a year means occasional plowing. Loose topsoil spread near a driveway can get scraped up if the plow runs over it before the soil is compacted or established. With around 61 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps avoid rutting.
The ground around Nevada City takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under topsoil earns its place here, especially on slopes. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
To figure out how many tons of topsoil your job requires, use our material calculators. Enter the area and depth you plan to cover, and the calculator gives an approximate tonnage.
