Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Boonville address and unloads right where you point.
Topsoil is the growing layer that contains organic matter, distinct from fill dirt which is clean mineral material used only for raising grade. In the Boonville area, the mapped soils are commonly poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the topsoil to manage drainage.
Topsoil from Gravel Monkey is suitable for lawns, garden beds, and regrading the growing layer. It is delivered by dump truck to your address, and you choose the quantity by the ton. The material is sourced regionally, so the exact blend may vary with local quarry output.
Topsoil is not the right material for raising the grade of a site or filling deep holes; those jobs call for fill dirt. Use topsoil where you want plants to grow.
| Product | Use | Note |

| Topsoil | Lawns, beds, regrading the growing layer | Contains organic matter and supports plant growth. Not for structural fill. |
The table below matches common projects to the topsoil you need and the depth to apply.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | 6 to 12 inches deep |
| New lawn | Topsoil | 4 to 6 inches |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | Light layer, 1/4 to 1/2 inch |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | Depends on existing grade |
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill low spots, typically 2 to 3 inches |
Soils mapped in the Boonville area are commonly poorly drained, so planning for drainage is key. The ground around Boonville is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means that a deeper base of stone under the topsoil can be important to prevent waterlogging, but the effect depends on your specific site's drainage.
Boonville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year. That volume makes good drainage a necessity for any topsoil layer. With about 78 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is something to think about.
About 90 days a year drop below 32F, so workable ground is limited in winter. The ground freezing here is moderate but real, and it affects when you can lay topsoil. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. The freeze-thaw cycle can also cause settling, so compacting the topsoil properly in the fall or spring matters.
To figure out how many tons of topsoil you need, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's density. Gravel Monkey's material calculators can handle that conversion for you.

Plan for about 78 days a year that see at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery when the ground is expected to be firm. A wet site can lead to compaction and delays.
Yes, the area sees about 90 days below 32F each year, so winter conditions can make the ground unworkable. Order for spring or fall to avoid frozen soil and to ensure the topsoil settles properly.
If you are raising the grade, order fill dirt first, then topsoil on top. For planting areas, consider adding sand to improve drainage or mulch to cover the surface. For paths and driveways, gravel or crushed stone may be needed under the topsoil layer.
