Topsoil ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Afton address and unloads right where you point.
Topsoil contains organic matter and is the layer plants grow in. Fill dirt has none and is used for raising grade. For an Afton yard, the deep and long ground freezing means topsoil can shift and compact over winter.
The freeze-thaw cycle often causes settlement. Spring regrading is a common task after the ground thaws.
Topsoil is not the material for filling deep holes or building pads. Use fill dirt for that. For the growing layer in lawns, beds, and regrading, topsoil is the right choice.
| Product | For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | Lawns, beds, regrading the growing layer | Contains organic matter and drains well; settles more than fill dirt. Use for the top layer. |
Each type of project needs a different topsoil depth. Use the table below as a guide, then check our material calculators for exact tonnage.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Raised beds and gardens | Topsoil | Calculate tonnage with our material calculators for the right depth. |
| Regrading after construction | Topsoil | The depth needed depends on the grade change; use our calculator. |
| New lawn | Topsoil | A typical new lawn needs several inches; estimate with our calculator. |
| Leveling low spots in a yard | Topsoil | Fill to grade; our calculator helps with the tonnage. |
| Over-seeding topdress | Topsoil | A light topdressing; use the calculator for a small amount. |
Soils mapped in the Afton area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. This means they lose water quickly, and you may need a thicker base layer of fill under topsoil to hold moisture for plants. The ground around Afton is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for drainage.
Lincoln County permitted about 194 single-family homes in 2024, which means new yards that need topsoil. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Plan your project between thaw and the first freeze.
To find out how many tons of topsoil you need, measure your area in square feet and decide the depth you want. Use our material calculators to convert those dimensions into tons.

Topsoil works well with these bulk materials for your Afton project:
Afton's soils are somewhat excessively drained, so nutrients can leach from topsoil faster. You may need to add organic matter every few years to maintain quality.
Afton's hydrologic group B soils take water in at a moderate rate. This means you can schedule delivery soon after rain without waiting for the ground to dry out completely.
After you order, you get an email confirmation. Closer to delivery, a second email gives your window (morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm) and a photo of the load. You must approve that email, and you or a nominee must be present during the window.
For new lawns, a 4 to 6 inch layer is standard. Raised beds often need 6 to 12 inches. Use the material calculators to determine tonnage.
