What is garden soil (raised bed soil mix)?
Garden soil mix is screened topsoil blended with finished compost, so you can plant straight into it. The topsoil gives body and holds water; the compost adds organic matter and nutrients. It's what most people mean by "raised bed soil" when they buy it in bulk.
What is the best soil for raised garden beds?
A blend of mineral soil and compost that drains but doesn't dry out in a day. Pure compost is too rich and shrinks; pure topsoil packs down. Garden soil mix sits in between.
Garden soil vs potting soil
Potting mix is mostly peat or coir, bark and perlite, made for containers. Garden soil is real soil with compost, made for the ground and raised beds. Use potting mix for small pots and houseplants; use garden soil to fill beds.
Bulk vs bags
One 4×8 ft bed filled 12 in deep holds about 1.2 yd³, which is roughly 22 bags of 1.5 cu ft. In bulk it arrives in one delivery, one blend, no plastic.
Garden soil in Florida
Florida's sandy native soil drains too fast for most vegetables. Fill beds with garden soil mix, water deeply, let it settle a day or two, then top up. Add an inch of compost each season to replace what the plants use.
How deep should garden soil be in a raised bed?
Root depth decides it. One cubic yard fills about 27 sq ft at 12 in deep, 54 sq ft at 6 in and 18 sq ft at 18 in.
| What you grow | Soil depth | Coverage per yd³ | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shallow roots | 6 in | ~54 sq ft | Lettuce, herbs, greens, strawberries |
| Most vegetables | 12 in | ~27 sq ft | Peppers, beans, cucumbers, squash |
| Deep roots | 18 in | ~18 sq ft | Tomatoes, carrots, potatoes |
| In-ground bed | 4–6 in on top | 54–81 sq ft | Work it into the native soil |

Amounts include 15% for settling. Order whole yards: one 4×8 bed needs about 1.4 yd³, so order 2. "From" prices are per yd³ on a full 18 yd³ truck; a few yards cost more per yd³ because the trip is shared by fewer yards. Get your exact quote for any row by ZIP.

What to expect when your garden soil is delivered
Where will the truck dump it?
Dumped from the street or driveway.
Do I need to be home?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.
Will it be spread?
No. Garden soil arrives in one pile and isn't spread on site, so plan wheelbarrows and rakes, or a crew, to move it into your beds.
Can the truck reach my backyard?
A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.
How much fits on one truck?
About 18 yd³. Larger orders arrive in several loads.
Is there a delivery fee?
No separate fee: delivery is included in the price. That's why small loads cost more per yd³ than a full truck. The minimum order is 1 yd³.
When can it come?
Delivery takes 2–3 business days. You pick the weekday at checkout, and a later date is fine too.
