Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Las Cruces address and unloads right where you point.
A load of topsoil is what you order when the growing layer needs replenishing. You buy it by the ton through Gravel Monkey's online store, and a dump truck brings it to your address. Las Cruces gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters with any topsoil project.
Order online, choose your delivery window, and get the delivered price for your ZIP at checkout. No yard visits, no phone calls.
Topsoil contains organic matter and supports plant growth. It is not suitable for filling deep holes or raising grade, that job belongs to fill dirt. Use topsoil for lawns, flower beds, and rebuilding growing surfaces.

Las Cruces sees about 10 inches of rain a year, so water moves across the surface rather than soaking in. The ground around here is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important than elsewhere. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season.
Only about 22 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That is good for scheduling a delivery onto firm ground. Freezing days number roughly 69 a year, which narrows the work window a bit but does not shut it down. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the soil stays workable and settlement happens steadily.
Calculate your tonnage by multiplying the area by the depth you need, then converting cubic yards to tons. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get a precise estimate for your project.
Order online by the ton, and your delivered price is calculated by ZIP at checkout. A dump truck delivers 1 to 40-plus tons to your address. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders, and first-time customers save $50 with code FIRSTTIMER50.

These materials work alongside topsoil for a complete job.
Winter temperatures matter less than wet ground here. The area has about 69 freezing days a year, but delivery goes ahead unless the site is muddy or icy. You choose a window at checkout, and the crew works around the weather as needed.
Yes, because the soil takes water in very slowly (hydrologic group D), a deeper topsoil layer helps manage runoff. The 10 inches of annual rainfall means you may need extra depth to account for washout. Order enough to compensate for surface flow.
The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after your order. You pick a morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) window. An email confirms the order, then a second email before delivery shows the scheduled window and a photo of the material. You must approve that second email before the truck rolls out. Someone needs to be present during the window.
Most customers choose a tonnage that matches their project area and desired depth. Gravel Monkey's material calculators can help you determine the right amount. There is no single standard size because every yard is different.
Ordering is straightforward: choose the tonnage online, and the delivered price appears at checkout based on your ZIP. Visit the Las Cruces hub to start your order or learn more about the process.
