Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Inverness address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered price for topsoil depends on how far the truck has to travel and how many tons you need. Soils mapped in the Inverness area are commonly excessively drained, which means you will likely need more base material under the surface layer than in heavier-soil areas.
Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address. You pick the window, and the truck shows up.
Topsoil is the organic-rich layer plants grow in. It is not suited for filling deep holes or building a stable base, but it is the right material for lawns, gardens, and regrading the growing layer.
| Product | Use For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | Lawns, beds, regrading the growing layer | Contains organic matter; do not substitute for fill dirt in deep fills. |
Match the project to the right product and depth. All jobs here use topsoil.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | 2 to 3 inches to re-establish the growing layer |
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill low areas, then topdress 1 to 2 inches |
| New lawn | Topsoil | 4 to 6 inches tilled into existing soil |
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | Mix with compost, depth depends on bed height |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | Light 1/4- to 1/2-inch layer over existing lawn |
Inverness gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year. That means you need to plan for drainage and washout when spreading topsoil, especially on slopes. About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.
The ground around Inverness is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the topsoil layer compared to areas with slower infiltration. But because the mapped soils are commonly excessively drained, you still need a good base stone layer to keep the topsoil from washing away over time.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
To figure out how many tons cover your area, measure the square footage and choose the depth. Bulk topsoil is sold by weight, and Gravel Monkey's material calculators give you a tonnage estimate for the dimensions you enter. No need to guess coverage rates.

You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then 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. Someone must be present during the window.

You may need these materials for the layers underneath or around the topsoil.
Inverness averages about 8 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freeze is shallow and short-lived. It does not stop you from ordering topsoil during the cooler months, but the ground may be soft in the morning. Schedule the delivery for midday if possible.
Winter here is mild, but about 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Wet ground can make it hard for the truck to reach the drop spot. Choose a delivery window with dry weather expected, and have someone at the site to guide the driver.
The driver unloads as close to the requested spot as safe access allows. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew dumps as close as they safely can.
Topsoil is not suitable for filling deep holes or building a stable base. It contains organic matter that rots and settles over time, so it cannot support heavy loads. For raising grade without organic matter, use fill dirt instead.
