Yard Works produces Virginia’s finest soils by mixing them with just the right amount of organic humus. Humus is the organic growing part of soil and determines the quality of topsoil that you are buying. You can choose from Organic Growing Media, Master Blend Turf Mix, Master Blend Bed Mix, Screened Top Soil, Specialty Bio Filtration and Retention Mixes, and even soils made to your specification.
Organic matter is one of the few things you can change when working with topsoils of poor quality. Topsoils with higher organic matter have better moisture holding capacity and better space distribution for plant roots. The best soils are loam or sandy loam, as classified on the USDA soil triangle. Loams with 5% or higher organic matter are highly productive. Yard Works carefully adds the right amount of compost to all of our soils, creating ideal conditions for these organisms to thrive in.
The carrying capacity of soil is approximately 1 cubic yard for a regular pickup and 1/2 cubic yard for a small pickup. For help in deciding exactly how much soil you need, feel free to call us or check out our easy-to-use calculations Chart and view our pricing list.

Looking for a good soil to grow grass? Turf Blend allows your soil to breath, yet holds enough moisture to develop strong, drought tolerant roots. For seed or for sod, be sure to add Turf Blend to your rotation of products that help you achieve a lawn worth walking on. For best results, add 2-4″ Turf Blend to your existing rough grade and till into a depth of 5-6″ prior to seeding or sodding. You will notice seed has better germination and quicker growth with Turf Blend due to the favorable mix of organic matter and soil. For renovation projects, use Turf Blend topdressed with an overseeding applied with our blower truck service.
