Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Winston address and unloads right where you point.
Winston gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter when you are adding a new soil layer. Topsoil is the layer that holds moisture and nutrients, and getting the right depth and quality for your site conditions is the first step toward healthy growth.
Whether you are filling low spots or building raised beds, having the material delivered by the ton means you get exactly what the job needs without running back to the store.
For most projects in Winston, standard screened topsoil is the right call. It comes with organic matter already mixed in and works for lawns, flower beds and regrading work.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | Lawns, beds, regrading the growing layer | Screened and blended for planting; holds moisture without getting boggy. |
Each project needs a different depth. The table below shows what to order and how thick to spread it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill to grade; allow for settling over wet winter months. |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | Spread a quarter to half an inch evenly over the lawn. |
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | Fill beds 6 to 12 inches deep; mix in compost if needed. |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | Add 4 to 6 inches after compacted fill dirt has settled. |
| New lawn | Topsoil | Spread 4 to 6 inches and till into the existing soil. |
About 85 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground matters more than in drier regions. A load dropped onto wet, soft ground can rut and compact, making extra work later.
With about 33 days dropping below 32F, the work window shrinks in winter and the ground can heave as it freezes. Snowfall averages just 1 inch a year, but that inch can still cause plowing damage to a loose topsoil surface. Soils mapped in the Winston area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer may be needed than in well-drained areas. The ground around Winston is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate, but where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
Measure the area you plan to cover and decide on a depth. One ton of topsoil covers roughly 50 to 60 square feet at 4 inches deep, but the exact figure depends on moisture content and how compacted it gets. Use our material calculators to estimate tons based on your square footage and target depth.
Ordering is straightforward. Pick your material and tonnage on this page, choose a delivery date at checkout that is at least 3 business days away, and the price is shown by ZIP code before you commit. You can choose a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). Give a valid phone number so the driver can confirm; orders without one risk being delayed or rescheduled.
You will get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone over 18 must be at the site during the window to receive the load. If no one is there or access is blocked, a redelivery fee can apply.
First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order. Check our About Gravel Monkey page, the customer reviews and the delivery information page for the full terms.
Many customers order these materials on the same trip as their topsoil:
The smallest load is 1 ton. Because ground freezing in Winston is real but moderate, it affects when the ground is workable, so plan small deliveries for the growing season to avoid frozen conditions.
Spring and fall are the best times, especially with about 166 new single-family homes permitted in Douglas County in 2024, which shows ongoing demand for topsoil for new lawns and grading. Ordering before the rainy season or after the ground thaws gives the best weather window.
Orders need a minimum lead time of 3 business days. You pick the delivery date at checkout, so ordering a week or more ahead gives you more choice of windows and ensures availability.
No. Someone over 18 must be at the site during the delivery window to receive the load and direct the driver. If no one is present the delivery cannot be completed and a missed delivery fee may apply.
