Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Michigan address and unloads right where you point.
Topsoil is the layer that grows your lawn, garden, or bed. When you buy topsoil from Gravel Monkey, you order it by the ton online, and we deliver it to your address in Michigan in a dump truck.
For any project that needs a new growing layer, from patching a thin patch to building a raised bed, ordering by the ton gives you exactly the volume you need without the guesswork of bagged soil.
Gravel Monkey supplies one type of topsoil that works for most growing-layer jobs. It comes screened and blended for consistent organic matter.

Topsoil works for these common jobs. The table below lists typical uses and guidance on depth or volume.

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Michigan runs from about 33 to 38 inches. This moderate rainfall means topsoil stays moist enough to support growth without being prone to runoff. But the ground freezes deeply: the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing, with 130 to 179 days a year below 32F.
The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. MDOT runs a spring load-restriction program to protect road surfaces during thaw. Orders placed during that period may see adjusted delivery scheduling, but the process remains the same.
Hydrologic soil groups A, C and D are the most common across Michigan's served cities. Group A soils drain quickly, while groups C and D hold more water. Your topsoil depth should be planned with the base soil's drainage in mind: faster-draining soils can take a deeper layer, slower-draining soils need careful grading to avoid pooling.

Topsoil weight varies with moisture and organic content, but the general rule is to calculate the volume in cubic yards and then convert to tons. Gravel Monkey's online material calculators do the math for you. Try the material calculators to get a tonnage estimate based on your project dimensions.

Delivery is available year-round, but the long freeze season limits the spreading and grading window to late spring through fall. The state also has a spring load-restriction program that can affect scheduling. You choose a delivery window at checkout, and the first available date is at least 3 business days after ordering.
