Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Scappoose address and unloads right where you point.
A typical topsoil project in Scappoose takes anywhere from a few tons for a light topdress to 20 tons or more for new beds or grading. The exact tonnage depends on the area and the depth you want, but most homeowners end up ordering between 5 and 15 tons.
Scappoose gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so good drainage matters. Our bulk topsoil is delivered by the ton, and you can match the load to your project without buying more than you need.
Our screened topsoil is available in loads from 1 to 40 tons. Use the table to see what each product is for and pick the right one for your job.

Scappoose sees about 96 wet days a year, which means scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. Wet soil can compact, so pick a day when the yard is not saturated.
Around 64 days a year drop below freezing, narrowing the work window. Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. Frost heave can shift a loose surface, so topsoil spread in fall should be well settled before winter.
Soils mapped in the Scappoose area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone underneath your topsoil layer compared to heavier clay soils. The ground takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth usually works.
To estimate your tonnage, measure the area in square feet, multiply by the depth in feet, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of topsoil weighs about 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, so a 1-ton load covers roughly 1.5 to 2 cubic yards. Use our material calculators to get a more precise number for your project.
You place your order online by the ton. The delivered price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout, so you see the total before you commit. A dump truck brings the load to your address, with loads from 1 to 40 tons.
Delivery is free on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout for $50 off your first order. You choose your delivery window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date.
You need to provide a valid phone number for confirmation. You get an email when the order is placed, and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be on site during the window. Learn more on our About page, check customer reviews, and see full delivery information.
Spring through fall is ideal. Scappoose has about 64 freezing days a year, so the ground is workable for most of that stretch. Ordering in early spring gives you more scheduling options before the peak season.
The smallest load is 1 ton. Given the area's annual rainfall of about 44 inches, a larger load might be more practical for big projects, but one ton works for small patches or topdressing.
No. Someone must be present during the delivery window to accept the load and direct the driver. You can nominate another person to be there. If no one is available when the truck arrives, a redelivery fee may apply.
Order at least 3 business days before your desired delivery date. You choose the date and window at checkout. Ordering further ahead gives you more time to prepare the site and coordinate with our team.
