Topsoil

Screened Topsoil

Our topsoil is made through a screening process, it is filtered through a 5/8" screen. Please note that smaller pea sized pebbles will be present due to the screen size. Our topsoil is stored under a cover and kept dry all year. Screened topsoil is most commonly used for lawn installations/repairs as well as landscape plantings.  

Best Garden Blended Soil

  • Compost Calculator

    If you are having trouble figuring out how much compost you will need, call the friendly associates at Elliott's Garden Center for help. The following calculations are approximate, and can be made less accurate by several variables.


    Step one


    To calculate how much compost you will need for your project you will first need to find the total amount of square feet that needs covered.

    Rectangular areas are measured by multiplying the length times the width. (Example) Length 4' x Width 5' = 20 square feet.

    Circles are measured by multiplying the radius (half the diameter) by itself, and multiplying that by pi (3.14).  (Example) Radius 3' x 3' = 9 square feet x 3.14 = 28.26 square feet.

    Triangles are measured by multiplying the length times the width then dividing that product in half.  (Example) Length 4' x Width 5' = 20 square feet x .5 = 10 square feet


    Step Two


    Next you will need to select the depth that you would like the compost to be installed at.  

    Divide the total square feet that you would like to cover by the yield of a cubic yard of mulch using the chart below.

    Example 600 square feet 2" deep

    600 / 162 = 3.7 cubic yards

    Yield of a cubic yard of compost at a depth of...

    1" deep = 324 square feet

    1.5" deep = 216 square feet

    2" deep = 162 square feet

    2.5" dep = 135 square feet

    3" deep = 108 square feet
