Quality Landscape Supply

Calculating the right amount of topsoil or compost starts with measuring the area you plan to cover. For topsoil, aim for a depth of 4–6 inches, and for compost, a 2–3 inch layer is usually sufficient. Multiply the area (in square feet) by the desired depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards for ordering. Our team can help estimate quantities based on your garden’s dimensions and soil amendment goals. Using the correct amount ensures healthy plant growth, proper drainage, and improved soil structure, reducing the need for additional materials later.

Each serves a different purpose: topsoil for bulk soil replacement, garden soil for planting readiness, and compost for nutrient enhancement. Our landscape supply in Stockton, MO can recommend the best option or combination to optimize plant health, soil quality, and long-term landscape success.
