Soil for Glen Ellyn (IL): Determining How Much You Need
In addition to being your supplier of soil, Tim Wallace Soil Mix Supply can answer your questions about using it the right way to achieve the best results. That includes helping you figure out the amount of soil you’ll need for your project. Simply call us at (630) 759-1080 to tell us more about your lawn or garden and we can calculate your soil quantity.
Once you place your order for soil, you can receive it in one of two ways:
Pick it up yourself in a trailer or truck. One cubic yard of topsoil (27 cubic feet) weighs about 2,000 pounds (one ton), so you’ll want to be sure your trailer or truck can handle the weight.
For proper tractor loading, the trailer or vehicle should not have a cap or a rack. (Tim Wallace Soil Mix Supply is not responsible for any vehicle damage during loading or unloading.)
Have us deliver it for you. We can bring from two to 12 cubic yards of topsoil or gardening soil right to your Glen Ellyn driveway. Call us in the morning for same-day delivery!
