Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lava Hot Springs address and unloads right where you point.
Lava Hot Springs gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning a key part of any topsoil project. Without good drainage, a new lawn or garden bed can turn into a muddy mess during wet spells.
The short growing season here means you have a narrow window to spread and grade topsoil. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk topsoil by the ton to your address so you can get the work done when the weather cooperates.
Gravel Monkey sells one grade of topsoil that works for lawns, garden beds and regrading. It is a screened, organic-rich mix that supports plant growth and can be used to level low spots around the house.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | Lawns, raised beds, regrading the growing layer | Screened for consistent texture and ready to spread |
Each project needs a different depth of topsoil. The table below gives typical application depths for common jobs in the area.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | 4 to 6 inches of topsoil |
| New lawn | Topsoil | 3 to 4 inches worked into existing soil |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | 1/2 to 1 inch thin layer |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | Fill low areas, then cover with 3 to 4 inches |
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill depression, compact lightly, then seed |
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. The ground stays frozen for months, so you need to plan ahead for any topsoil work.
Lava Hot Springs receives about 38 inches of snowfall a year. When snow melts or is plowed onto a loose topsoil surface, it can wash away the top layer and create ruts. A firm grade and proper drainage before winter help prevent damage.
Soils mapped in the Lava Hot Springs area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the topsoil than in heavier clay areas. The ground around here takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough for good drainage.
To figure out the tonnage of topsoil for your project, multiply the square footage by the depth in feet, then divide by the cubic yards per ton. The easiest way is to use our material calculators, which do the math for you and tell you how many tons to order.
Ordering topsoil from Gravel Monkey is done entirely online. You choose your material, enter your ZIP code to see the delivery price, and pick a delivery window. Loads run from one ton up to 40 tons per order, and first-time customers save $50 off their first order with the code FIRSTTIMER50.
Delivery is by dump truck straight to your driveway or worksite. You set the delivery date at checkout, which must be at least 3 business days after ordering. You choose a morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) window. We send an email confirmation and then a second email closer to delivery with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.

Many customers combine topsoil with other bulk materials for a complete project. Here are common additions.
The smallest load we deliver is one ton. Loads run from one ton up to 40 tons per order, so you can order exactly what you need for a small garden or a large regrading project.
The best time is spring through early fall, after the ground has thawed and before the first hard freeze. About 55 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm, dry ground is important to avoid ruts.
