Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Dade City address and unloads right where you point.
Topsoil projects in Dade City typically run from a single ton for a small garden bed to 40 or more tons for a new lawn or major regrade. Dade City gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you build the growing layer.
Whether you are filling low spots, topping a bed, or redoing a yard after construction, ordering by the ton lets you buy exactly what your project needs. The delivery price is calculated for your address at checkout.
Gravel Monkey carries one topsoil product designed for growing plants. It is sold by the ton and delivered by dump truck to your driveway or drop point. The table below summarizes the product and its use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | Lawns, beds, regrading the growing layer | Contains organic matter and is ready for planting or sod. |
Each project below calls for a different depth and tonnage. The table matches the job to the right order.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | 2 to 3 inches across the low area. |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | 1/4 to 1/2 inch over existing lawn. |
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | 6 to 12 inches for root depth. |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | Varies; use 4 inches minimum for turf. |
| New lawn | Topsoil | 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over prepared base. |
Dade City has about 77 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch falls. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point. That means scheduling when the soil is firm enough to support the load.
The area also sees about 3 days a year below freezing. That narrows the work window in winter and limits how much the ground heaves. Most projects happen in the warmer months when topsoil can settle and roots take hold.
Soils mapped in the Dade City area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the topsoil layer than in areas with heavier clay. The ground around Dade City soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so drainage stone under the surface can be reduced.
To find how many tons you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 324. That gives you the cubic yards. Topsoil weighs about 1.1 tons per cubic yard, though moisture changes the exact number. Use our material calculators to do the math for your space.

You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order. A valid phone number is required to confirm the drop. You get an email confirmation right away and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. If nobody is there, or if access is blocked, a missed-delivery fee may apply. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. For more details, see our delivery information page. Learn more about Gravel Monkey and read customer reviews.
For a complete project, consider these materials that work alongside topsoil:
The answer depends on area and depth. A 1,000-square-foot area at 2 inches deep takes about 6 tons. Soils in the Dade City area are commonly well drained, so you may not need as much base stone underneath, but the topsoil depth itself remains the same for plant health.
Dade City has about 77 wet days a year, so ordering during drier stretches in spring and fall gives you firmer ground for delivery. Avoid periods after heavy rain when the drop point can be soft. Plan around the three freezing days in winter if your project requires working the soil.
Orders need at least 3 business days lead time from order date to delivery. For large projects over 20 tons, ordering a week ahead gives more scheduling options. You confirm the delivery after seeing the second email with the photo and window.
Topsoil is sold by the ton, not by particle size. The most common application depth for lawns and gardens is 2 to 3 inches. A 2-inch layer over 1,000 square feet uses about 6 tons.
