Landscape soil

There's always a cost-to-convenience breakeven point between getting trucked soil or bagged soil for minor landscaping. Trucked soil is delivered in cubic yard quantities, and there's often a minimum for an order, like three cubic yards. It costs about $40 per cubic yard and most vendors charge for delivery. Bagged soil is mostly 2-cubic-foot each, so you have to consider how many trips to make and how many bags can fit your largest vehicle.

I decided the convenience of getting the whole batch at once was worth it. A tree was waiting for it.
