Topsoil in Staten Island, NY

In Staten Island, bulk topsoil typically ranges from about $30 to $70 per cubic yard delivered, depending on quality (screened/organic), moisture, and supplier. Local availability and truck access can push the price higher, so get a quote from Hello Gravel for an exact price to your address.

A standard tri-axle dump truck in the NYC area carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards, so a full load of topsoil in Staten Island commonly runs between about $400 and $900 depending on yards ordered and material quality. Exact pricing and minimums vary by supplier and delivery location, so request a Hello Gravel quote for your specific address.

A single cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft volume and can physically fit in many full-size pickup beds, but the weight can exceed the truck’s payload rating when wet. Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck with a 3-ton minimum, so for bulk work on Staten Island we recommend using our delivery service rather than hauling in a pickup.

Spring and fall are ideal for applying topsoil on Staten Island, when the ground is workable and temperatures support plant establishment. Avoid spreading deep topsoil on frozen ground or during very wet spells after heavy rain to prevent compaction and uneven settling.

Yes — buying bulk topsoil is generally cheaper per cubic yard than buying bags, especially for larger projects, but factor in delivery minimums and truck access on Staten Island streets. If you need only a small amount or have tight access, bags from a local store might be more practical despite the higher per-unit cost.

Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb on Staten Island: 1 ton of topsoil will cover about 270 sq ft at 1-inch depth, about 135 sq ft at 2-inch depth, and roughly 90 sq ft at 3-inch depth. For exact coverage, use the formula area = (27 cubic feet / depth in feet) adjusted by the material’s ton-per-yard value or ask Hello Gravel to calculate for you.

Thinly topdressing (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) over an existing lawn can improve soil without smothering grass, but spreading several inches over live turf will kill it. For depths greater than an inch or for creating new garden beds on Staten Island, remove or sod-cut the grass first before adding several inches of topsoil.

It depends on the bag’s actual volume, but expect roughly 36 to 54 of the common 40-lb bags to equal one cubic yard. Bag sizes and compaction vary, so check the bag’s cubic-foot label; buying bulk is usually simpler and cheaper for projects on Staten Island.

Some big-box stores offer bag delivery and may arrange bulk deliveries through local partners, but availability, minimums, and pricing vary by store and neighborhood. Hello Gravel specializes in connecting you with local Staten Island suppliers and dump-truck delivery, often with clearer pricing and scheduling for larger orders.

One cubic yard is a cube 3 ft on a side (27 cubic feet). As a pile, it will often look like a mound about 3 to 4 feet high and 8 to 10 feet across, roughly the size of a small car footprint — a handy visual when planning drop-off space in Staten Island driveways or sidewalks.

Yes — narrow streets, parked cars, and curb restrictions on Staten Island can limit where a dump truck can safely stop and dump. When ordering through Hello Gravel, provide clear delivery instructions and photos of the drop zone so drivers can assess access and reduce the chance of additional charges or the need to reposition the truck.

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.
