Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Davis address and unloads right where you point.
Davis gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain makes drainage and washout planning essential for any soil job. Topsoil with good organic content handles water better than lean fill, but the base preparation matters just as much.
Whether you are starting a lawn or topping up a garden bed, the right topsoil gives your growing layer a solid start. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk topsoil to Davis by the ton, priced for your address at checkout.
The product most often ordered here is topsoil, which delivers organic matter for lawns, planting beds and regrading work. It screens out debris and provides a consistent growing medium.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | Lawns, beds, regrading the growing layer | Screened and consistent, good for topdressing and new plantings. |
The table below matches typical projects to the product and a starting depth. Depths vary by condition, so adjust for compaction and site prep.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New lawn | Topsoil | 4 to 6 inches over prepared subgrade |
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill to grade, topdress lightly |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | 1/4 to 1/2 inch, raked in |
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | 8 to 12 inches for root depth |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | 6 to 8 inches final cap |
The 56 inches of rain each year means water moves across the surface fast. The ground around Davis is in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 142 days a year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle shifts the ground and can settle a loose topsoil layer. Plan your work for the window on either side of winter.
Snowfall averages about 105 inches a year. Plowing that snow can damage a fresh topsoil surface, so time the delivery after the last plow season. The soils mapped in the Davis area are commonly moderately well drained, which guides how much base stone you might need under the surface layer. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
Volume is measured in cubic yards, and weight is measured in tons. The amount depends on the area and the depth you choose. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to convert square footage and depth into the tons you should order.

Many people pair topsoil with other bulk materials for a complete project. These products work well alongside a topsoil order.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk topsoil to Davis and any address we can reach with a dump truck. The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You select a morning or afternoon window, and we send a confirmation with a photo of the load before the truck leaves.
Orders start at 1 ton and go up to 40+ tons per truck. A single ton covers roughly 1 cubic yard, which is enough for a small topdressing project or a few raised beds. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, so the minimum order cost depends on your address.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to enter the site. Gravel, asphalt or firmly packed dirt works. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You or a nominated person must be present during the delivery window.
Depth depends on the project. A new lawn needs 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over prepared subgrade, while raised beds call for 8 to 12 inches. For topdressing an existing lawn, 1/4 to 1/2 inch is enough. Use the material calculators on our site to figure volume from your square footage and chosen depth.
