How Do You Estimate Topsoil Cost?
To estimate topsoil cost, calculate the cubic yards or bags you need, then multiply by your local price per unit. Bulk topsoil is priced per cubic yard, bagged per bag, and screened or premium soil costs more than basic fill. Because pricing varies by quality and region, enter your own quoted price for an accurate estimate.
Is Bulk Topsoil Cheaper Than Bags?
For anything beyond a small bed, yes. Bulk topsoil by the cubic yard is far cheaper per unit than bags, since it takes about 36 bags to equal a yard. Bags only make sense for containers or tiny beds. The cost calculator shows both quantities so you can compare the bulk and bagged price for your project.
