    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much topsoil do I need for grass seed?

    For light lawn repair, a thin layer may be enough. New or uneven areas may need a deeper layer based on site conditions.

    Does topsoil settle?

    Yes. Loose topsoil can settle, so confirm ordering quantities with your supplier or landscaper.
