Delivered topsoil in West Louisiana commonly ranges from about $25 to $50 per cubic yard, or roughly $20 to $45 per ton, depending on screening, organic content, moisture, and distance. Prices vary with season and supplier; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and can show local, real-time rates for your zip code.

Typical projects include repairing or resodding lawns, creating or topping raised garden beds, filling low spots and regrading yard drainage, establishing new flower beds, and erosion control along ditches or creek banks. Contractors and homeowners also use topsoil when installing sod, gardens for vegetables, and landscape berms.

West Louisiana is hot, humid, and gets frequent heavy rain, which can cause topsoil to compact, wash away, or settle faster than in drier climates. Choose well-draining mixes, add organic matter for structure, and plan erosion control and positive grading to help topsoil perform in heavy rainfall and high humidity.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Topsoil weight varies with moisture, but a good rule is about 0.8 to 1.1 tons per cubic yard; for example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches needs ~12.3 cubic yards (about 10 to 14 tons depending on moisture). Use the volume formula (area x depth in feet / 27) to calculate cubic yards, then multiply by local tons/yd3 if you need tons.

Homeowners often compare topsoil to screened fill dirt, compost, loam blends, and sand. For structural or drainage work they compare topsoil with crusher run or base gravel, while gardeners may prefer screened topsoil mixed with compost or planting mix instead of raw fill dirt.

Grade the area for positive drainage, avoid delivering or spreading in heavy rain, and use edging or erosion-control fabric on slopes to prevent washout. Lightly loosen compacted areas before spreading, incorporate compost for better structure, seed or mulch promptly to stabilize soil, and avoid excessive compaction from heavy equipment.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that typically deliver within a 20 to 75 mile radius depending on material availability and truck routing, but coverage varies by zip code. Check availability for your address on our site; standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.

For vegetable gardens choose screened topsoil or a topsoil-compost blend with higher organic matter and loose texture to support roots, while lawn repair does well with screened topsoil or screened loam that matches existing lawn grade. If you are unsure, get a small bag sample or request supplier details on screening and organic content, and consider a simple soil test to check pH and nutrient needs.

Yes, newly placed topsoil can wash away in heavy storms common to West Louisiana if not stabilized. Prevent loss by grading for runoff, installing silt fence or straw wattles on slopes, seeding or mulching right after placement, and using retaining edging or ground covers where needed.

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