Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Charlotte address and unloads right where you point.
In Charlotte, topsoil is available in a single screened grade. The grade controls how much organic matter you get and how well the soil drains. Charlotte gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you spread your topsoil.
The right depth depends on whether you are leveling a low spot or building a new bed. You choose the quantity, pick a delivery window, and see the delivered price at checkout before you commit. Orders for Charlotte are confirmed by email, and you approve the load before it ships.

Charlotte sees about 145 days a year when the temperature drops below 32F. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. The ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles, so topsoil placed in spring should be compacted lightly to prevent settlement.
Soils mapped in the Charlotte area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer, but the topsoil itself still requires proper grading to shed water. The ground around Charlotte is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface, but the topsoil depth still controls how much water the bed holds.
Charlotte gets about 38 inches of snow each year. Plowing can damage a loose topsoil surface, so plan to spread your topsoil after the last heavy snow or protect the area with a temporary cover.

Ground freezing in Charlotte is deep and long, so the soil is only workable from late spring through fall. Order after the thaw to give the topsoil time to settle before winter sets in.
We stock one grade of screened topsoil. The size refers to the screening process, which removes large clods. For Charlotte projects, this single grade works for all common uses.
