Topsoil in Hartford, AL

Prices vary by supplier, screening level, and truck size, but in West Alabama expect a ballpark range of $20 to $50 per cubic yard delivered. Final cost depends on whether you want screened or amended topsoil, delivery distance, and truck type; use our online quote or check your zip code for exact pricing.

For Hartford's clay-heavy soils, choose a screened loam topsoil amended with compost to improve structure and drainage. Contractors here often recommend a 60/40 mix of native topsoil and compost or a sandy loam topsoil to help roots establish and reduce compaction.

To cover 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards, which is roughly 7.5 tons of typical topsoil. We recommend ordering one extra ton (so about 8 tons) to allow for settling and uneven grade.

Yes. Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and dump truck haulers that deliver bulk topsoil to residential and construction addresses in Hartford, subject to zip code availability. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and you can schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) or request next-day service for an extra fee.

Quality topsoil supports plants through hot, humid summers if it has good organic content and structure, but heavy rains in this region can cause erosion and nutrient loss. Use mulch, proper grading, and consider adding organic matter or a cover crop to protect and build soil over time.

Use crushed stone for driveways; topsoil is not suitable because it compacts and erodes under traffic. If you need both on a project, order topsoil for planting areas and crushed stone for drive surfaces — Hello Gravel can deliver both materials separately.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Delivery fees vary by location and supplier; many areas in West Alabama have free delivery, but check your zip code at checkout or request a quote to see any applicable fees and available delivery dates.

Topsoil itself doesn't expire, but garden beds and lawns may need topdressing or replenishment every 1 to 3 years depending on erosion, settling, and plantings. For lawns, a light topdressing of 1/4 to 1/2 inch every 1 to 3 years helps maintain soil health in Hartford's climate.

For drainage projects, screened or washed topsoil is not a substitute for proper drainage materials; crushed stone or washed gravel performs better for moving water. Screened topsoil is worth the extra cost when you're establishing lawns or planting beds because it removes large debris and promotes uniform rooting.

Many Hartford contractors recommend buying quality screened topsoil for lawn establishment and purchasing gravel separately if you need it for drainage or sub-base. Combining the right materials — amended topsoil for planting and gravel where drainage or load-bearing is needed — gives the best long-term results.

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