Buy Topsoil in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

Topsoil is the layer your lawn and garden grow in. It carries organic matter that supports plant roots. Whether you are filling beds or regrading the yard, you buy topsoil by the ton from Gravel Monkey.

Pleasant Prairie gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout are factors to plan for when you spread topsoil. Order online by the ton, and we deliver by dump truck straight to your address.

Choosing Topsoil for Your Pleasant Prairie Project

Topsoil is not the right choice for structural fill or raising grade where you need a compacted base without organic content. For those jobs, consider fill dirt instead.

Topsoil Depth Guide for Common Projects

Different projects need different depths of topsoil. Use this table to see how much depth to plan for each job.

Pleasant Prairie Weather and Soil for Topsoil

Pleasant Prairie averages about 36 inches of precipitation each year. That means water moves through the soil profile, and washout can happen if topsoil is not well graded or if it sits on a compacted layer. Planning for drainage is part of any topsoil job.

Rain falls on about 67 days each year, at least a tenth of an inch per event. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground matters because the truck needs solid access. Also, about 132 days drop below freezing each year, which shortens the window for spreading and grading. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall.

Snowfall averages about 40 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose topsoil surface, so consider protecting new topsoil from snow removal. Frost here is deep and long, meaning the ground is workable only from late spring through fall, and settling can occur after thaw.

Soils in the Pleasant Prairie area are mapped as moderately well drained, but the ground falls into hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This behavior means a deeper drainage layer under your topsoil earns its place, especially in low areas.
