Use this: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For 100 sq ft at 2 inches you need about 0.62 cu yd; at 3 inches about 0.93 cu yd. Topsoil weight varies, but plan roughly 0.7-0.9 tons for 2 inches and 1.0-1.2 tons for 3 inches per 100 sq ft.

Standard delivery is usually 2 or more business days from order confirmation, and Hello Gravel offers a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Minimum order quantities are commonly 3 tons through our platform, though local suppliers may have different minimums.

Topsoil is useful for establishing plants in xeriscape designs by providing a planting medium and holding initial moisture; use a shallow layer (2-3 inches) mixed with mulch and drought-tolerant plants. Maintenance is low once established: infrequent irrigation, seasonal mulch replenishment, and occasional top-dressing every 3-5 years depending on erosion and plant needs.

No—topsoil is not suitable for driveways because it compacts poorly and can rut or wash away. Decomposed granite or crushed rock are the proper choices for driveways: DG compacts for a smooth surface and is lower cost, while crushed rock is more durable under vehicle traffic.

Rules vary by town and HOA; some associations limit bare soil visibility, require specific rock or mulch styles, or have slope and drainage requirements. Check your local town office and your HOA guidelines before ordering topsoil for a front-yard project in Miami, AZ.

On slopes, minimize wash by terracing, using retaining walls, or installing erosion-control blankets and check dams before placing topsoil. For poor drainage, improve the base with graded swales or rock drains and mix topsoil with organic matter to improve structure; avoid placing loose topsoil where runoff will carry it away.

For planting beds, a weed-free, compost-enriched topsoil plus a 2-3 inch mulch layer often works better than landscape fabric, which can trap water and roots. For slopes or newly graded areas, combine biodegradable erosion blankets, wattles, or geotextile under a thin topsoil layer to prevent wash and help seed establishment.

Get a screened topsoil with 5% to 20% compost or ask suppliers for a 'desert blend' optimized for arid planting; avoid heavy, clay-rich topsoil that holds too much water.
