What We Carry

Choose your size at checkout — by the quarter, half, or full yard.

Which one is right for your project?

Quickest way to choose: are you growing something, filling a space, or building on top of it?

01

Growing plants, flowers, or vegetables? Use EarthMax garden soil — rich, premium soil made for feeding roots. New beds, raised beds, a vegetable garden. If plants are going in the ground, this is your soil.

02

Filling a low spot, leveling, or grading? Use Top Soil (Screened) — clean, screened dirt for fill and the budget-friendly choice when you just need to move dirt. Common combo: fill the bulk of a new bed with screened topsoil, then top the planting layer with EarthMax.

03

Setting pavers or a smooth base? Use Mason Sand — fine and even, beds pavers nicely and fills joints.

04

Need a firm, packable base or a stable path? Use Sand Clay Mix — the clay packs down hard and holds its shape under traffic.

05

Play area, sandbox, or a bright decorative touch? Use White Sand — clean and light-colored.

06

Remember the sands: mason for smooth, sand clay mix for firm, white sand for bright.

How much do I need? (a quick example)

How would you like to enter your area?
Most beds take 2–3 inches

Soil and sand are sold by the cubic yard: length (ft) × width (ft) × depth (in) ÷ 12 ÷ 27. Topping a raised bed 4 × 8 ft with 6" of EarthMax = 32 sq ft → 32 × 6 ÷ 12 = 16 cubic feet → 16 ÷ 27 ≈ 0.6 yard (a half yard gets you most of the way). Soil beds run deeper than stone beds, so you cover fewer square feet per yard. For a single planter or small bed, a quarter yard may be all you need.

From the Yard

Putting it down (a few tips)

A little prep gives new soil and sand the best start:

01 Loosen the ground first. Scratch up the existing dirt a few inches so new soil bonds and water and roots move through instead of sitting on a hard layer.
02 Don't overfill a raised bed. Leave an inch or two below the top edge — soil settles after the first waterings. It’s normal to add a little more later.
03 Mix garden soil in for planting. Work EarthMax into the top few inches of existing dirt rather than piling it on, so roots get a smooth transition.
04 Match depth to the job. A couple inches for topping and leveling; a deeper layer for new planting and raised beds. Screed paver sand flat before you set anything.

Soil & Sand FAQ

Screened topsoil is clean fill for leveling and grading. EarthMax garden soil is richer and built for growing — new beds, raised beds, vegetables.

Mason sand is fine and uniform for smooth bases and paver joints. Sand clay mix packs firm for pathways and stable bases. White sand is clean and bright for play areas and decorative use.

At 2 inches, a full yard covers ~160 sq ft, a half yard ~80 sq ft, and a quarter yard ~40 sq ft. For deeper planting beds, plan for less coverage per yard.
