What the material is
GLWD Screened Topsoil is locally mined and screened to remove large rocks, roots, and oversized debris. Because it is a natural material, its color and texture can vary between pits and loads.

Product overview
Locally mined and screened soil for lawns, planting beds, grading, and landscaping.
How GLWD supplies it
GLWD mines and screens topsoil at two of its pits. Screening removes large rocks, roots, and oversized debris while the color and texture of the natural soil can vary.
When not to use it
Screened Topsoil is not the best choice for deep structural fill or as a finished driving surface. Although the local soil can compact and support weight, GLWD generally recommends a purpose-selected base material for driveways, roads, and heavily traveled areas.
Pickup and delivery
Pickup at Pit 421 or dump truck delivery. Confirmed when ordering.
Truck and load options
Available as loose material for pickup or delivery in all GLWD load sizes.
Quantity guidance
Measure the length and width of the area and the desired material depth. For irregular areas, divide the project into smaller sections and measure each one. A phone can help collect approximate measurements—iPhones include the Measure app, and similar measuring apps are available for other phones. Allow for settling, especially in deeper beds or areas with major grade changes. Use the Product Finder Quiz if you are still choosing a material, then estimate your quantity.
Delivery preparation
Choose a firm, level dump location with enough room for the driver to enter, raise the truck bed, unload, and leave safely. Check for low tree limbs, overhead power or communication lines, gates, narrow entrances, soft ground, steep slopes, and tight turns. Identify anything hidden beneath the route or dumping area, including septic tanks and drain fields, irrigation lines, pipes, culverts, utility lines, recently filled trenches, and other breakable structures. Dump trucks are extremely heavy and may crack concrete or asphalt, especially when crossing edges or leaving the paved surface. The driver makes the final decision about whether the requested location can be reached safely. Avoid sprinkler heads, newly installed landscaping, saturated lawns, and areas where the truck could become stuck. Plan for equipment or labor to move and spread the soil after it is dumped.
