Topsoil in Columbus, IN

You can order topsoil through Hello Gravel’s website and we will connect you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Columbus, IN. Local garden centers and landscape suppliers in Bartholomew County also sell screened topsoil, but ordering through Hello Gravel saves time by bundling pricing, delivery scheduling, and professional dump truck delivery.

Topsoil pricing in Columbus varies by quality, moisture, and distance from the supplier. As a local range, expect roughly $20 to $40 per cubic yard delivered or about $10 to $30 per ton, but final price depends on the supplier and order size; use our checkout or call our team for an exact quote for your zip code.

A typical tri-axle dump truck that delivers through Hello Gravel carries about 10 to 15 cubic yards of loose topsoil, depending on moisture and loading. Delivered truckload pricing in the Columbus area commonly ranges widely based on quality and distance, so check the checkout estimate or contact us for a specific truckload price.

Topsoil is richer in organic matter and is the right choice for planting beds, lawns, and garden beds in Columbus, while fill dirt is inexpensive subsoil used for grading or raising elevations. For planting or improving poor clay soils common in central Indiana, choose screened topsoil or an amended topsoil blend rather than fill dirt.

Pickup can be cheaper if you have a truck and equipment to load and move the material yourself, but delivery is often the easiest option and may be free in many areas through Hello Gravel. Factor in your time, labor, and equipment costs—delivery is usually the better value for small homeowner jobs or when you need precise placement.

To estimate, use volume: length x width x desired depth (in feet) divided by 27 gives cubic yards. As a practical example, 1 cubic yard of topsoil covers about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth; order 5 to 10 percent extra for settling and grading, and use our online material calculator for a project-specific estimate.

For lawn topdressing, 1 inch of topsoil across 1,000 square feet equals about 3.1 cubic yards. For raised garden beds, 2 to 4 cubic yards is common for small beds; tailor depth to the plants (vegetable beds often need 8 to 12 inches of good topsoil).

No—topsoil appearance and texture vary by local geology and harvest location, so color and texture may differ between suppliers and loads. If you have a strong preference, note it in Order Notes and our team will try to match your request, but variations are normal due to regional sourcing.

Drivers may be able to provide limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and site access on arrival before deciding whether they can spread.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
