Good soil is one of the easiest places to either set a project up for success or create problems that show up later. How Deep Should Topsoil Be for a New Lawn is a question we hear because customers want to order the right material, avoid waste and keep the job moving.
The most important things to consider are: depth depends on the existing soil and the intended use. Thin cosmetic layers dry out quickly and may not correct poor subgrade. Plan depth before ordering so the yardage estimate is realistic.

For customers in Northeast Ohio around Hudson, Chagrin/Bainbridge and North Ridgeville, and for customers in the Charlotte region around Fort Mill, Denver and Charlotte, the same basic rule applies: order for the actual job conditions, not from a generic rule of thumb.
