A 50x12 ft area is 600 square feet. For topsoil: 1 inch deep ≈ 1.85 cubic yards (≈ 2.2 tons), 2 inches ≈ 3.7 cubic yards (≈ 4.4 tons), and 4 inches ≈ 7.4 cubic yards (≈ 8.9 tons), using a typical bulk density of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard. Order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for settlement and sloping.

No, topsoil is not a good base for driveways—it's soft, erodes easily, and will rut under vehicle traffic, especially with West Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles. Crushed limestone or crushed stone is recommended for driveway bases and surfaces because it compacts and drains well; use screened topsoil only as a finishing layer beside the driveway for planting or landscaping.

Topsoil can be affected by freeze-thaw and heavy rain in West Wisconsin and may wash out or heave if used on traffic surfaces or poorly drained slopes. For exposed areas, stabilize grades with proper base material, erosion control (mulch, seed, matting), or retaining features; use topsoil primarily as a planting or finish layer rather than structural fill.

For final grading and lawn prep near foundations, a screened, loam-based topsoil with modest organic content is best because it grades smoothly and supports seeding. Avoid heavy, high-organic compost mixes right up against foundation footings; for structural backfill or engineered grading you should follow local building code guidance and use engineered fill rather than garden topsoil.

Yes—screened topsoil is preferred for lawn topdressing and planting beds because it is free of large debris and rocks and gives a smooth finish for seed or sod. For lawn renovations, use a screened topsoil or a screened topsoil-compost blend and spread thin lifts rather than deep fills to avoid smothering existing turf.

Topsoil used as a finish layer for lawns or beds will last indefinitely with proper vegetation and care, but topsoil used in place of structural material on driveways or access paths will quickly deteriorate. Maintenance typically includes occasional top-dressing, regrading after heavy rains, reseeding bare spots, and adding more material as it settles—expect more frequent maintenance in freeze-thaw seasons.

Local codes and health departments often require specific aggregate types and compaction for septic field access and structural areas, and topsoil is usually not an approved material for those purposes. Always check with the Washington town or county building and health departments before using topsoil for septic or structural access to confirm acceptable materials and compaction requirements.

Yes—local contractors and landscapers commonly deliver and spread topsoil; Hello Gravel coordinates dump-truck delivery and you can request spreading at checkout but it is subject to the driver’s discretion. Labor for spreading varies by job size and site difficulty; small jobs are often quoted by the hour or per truckload, so ask contractors for a written estimate—if you want Hello Gravel to arrange spreading, request it and we will pass your note to the supplier and driver.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
