“Our dooryard here in Unity never grew a blade of grass since the house went up, just packed dirt and rock. Six yards of top soil from Maine Rock Supply went down about four inches deep across the whole area. Seeded it two weeks later and already have grass coming in where nothing would take before.”

Top Soil has a smooth, even appearance once placed, rather than the rough surface left by native glacial till. In Maine, that finish belongs over an area already planned for drainage, particularly where ledge near grade sends water sideways. It is appropriate for establishing lawn areas, refreshing worn ground, and preparing garden or flower planting spaces. The screened material is workable for spreading, grading, and planting.
Freeze-thaw cycling can shift a finished landscape surface, so handle drainage and rough shaping before adding Top Soil. Spread it over the prepared planting zone, grade the surface, and plant after the finish is set. This keeps the growing layer in its proper role rather than treating it as a substitute for a gravel subbase on a camp road or driveway. Screening produces a uniform texture without coarse fragments or discarded matter, helping the finished area stay easy to work.

Common Uses
Lawn Establishment & Repair
For sod installation, overseeding sparse turf, or correcting yard depressions, apply topsoil before planting. Build a 2-4 inch rooting zone so grass can establish and fill in evenly.
Garden Beds & Raised Planters
Use topsoil in garden plots and raised planters as a growing base for vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The screened material has a workable texture that helps roots develop.
Grading & Leveling
Topsoil can correct irregular ground, bring up sunken sections, and shape runoff away from foundations and structures. It firms up without preventing water from soaking through, which helps where drainage must move across shallow ledge.
Tree & Shrub Planting
At planting time, mix topsoil into the native material around trees and shrubs. This improves the soil's texture and gives new plantings a better setting for early root development.
Why Choose Top Soil
Growing Medium
Topsoil forms a balanced, structured base for lawns, gardens, and ornamental beds. Its makeup helps support root growth and plant establishment.
Screened & Clean
Mechanical screening takes rocks, roots, and other debris out of topsoil. The finished material has an even texture, making it simpler to place and rake.
Versatile Application
Topsoil serves many purposes, from home garden work to commercial site projects. Use it for planting areas, lawn preparation, and grading work in a range of conditions.
Bulk Coverage
Bulk topsoil delivery is an alternative to bagged material for larger coverage areas. Material can be delivered directly to your property.
Frequently Asked Questions About Top Soil
Customer Reviews
Rental strip greened up right on schedule
Widened the driveway at one of our rentals over in China and the disturbed strip along the edge needed filling and reseeding before the tenants moved back in. Five yards of top soil, ordered through Maine Rock Supply, got it level and ready for grass seed in one afternoon. It held moisture well through a dry stretch in June and the new strip greened up right alongside the rest of the lawn.

Septic yard leveled just before the freeze
Had the septic field redone this fall and the yard was left a mess of trenches and mounded clay once the crew finished backfilling. Brought in about eight yards of top soil to level it all back out before winter. Maine Rock Supply had it delivered within two days of calling, which mattered with the ground about to freeze. Raked it smooth and got grass seed down just in time.

Bare Dooryard Finally Grows Grass
Our dooryard here in Unity never grew a blade of grass since the house went up, just packed dirt and rock. Six yards of top soil from Maine Rock Supply went down about four inches deep across the whole area. Seeded it two weeks later and already have grass coming in where nothing would take before.

Level Yard Needed Some Raking
Ordered three yards of top soil to level a rough patch behind the house in Windsor. Maine Rock Supply delivered on schedule, dark and rich, though a few clay clumps needed breaking up by hand before raking smooth.

New lawn rooted fast after construction
Built a new house outside Pittsfield last year and the yard was nothing but construction debris and hardpan clay once the crew left. We ordered eighteen yards of top soil to get four inches of good growing dirt across the front and side yards before laying sod. The driver worked the tri-axle around the cul de sac and dumped it in three piles to spread with the tractor and a landscape rake. Maine Rock Supply screened it clean, no rocks or roots mixed in like the pile a neighbor got from another yard. The sod rooted fast that summer and the lawn has stayed green through two seasons now.
