Types of Topsoil We Carry
Premium Topsoil
Our standard topsoil is screened, quality-controlled, and ready to use for general landscaping, lawn areas, and fill. It's the right choice for:
- Grading and leveling yards
- Lawn repair and overseeding prep
- General fill and raised areas
- Backfilling around foundations and landscaping
Garden Soil / Amended Topsoil
A richer blend with added compost and organic matter — better moisture retention, better drainage, and better plant performance than straight topsoil. Use it for:
- Vegetable and herb gardens
- Flower beds
- Raised bed filling (in combination with our compost)
- New planting areas where you want plants to establish quickly

Why Gig Harbor Soil Needs Help
Kitsap County's native soil is typically clay-heavy and slow-draining. After rain, it stays wet. In summer, it bakes hard and cracks. Neither condition is great for lawns or gardens.
Adding quality topsoil addresses both problems:
- Amended topsoil improves the clay-to-loam ratio, letting roots penetrate deeper
- Compost mixed in adds organic matter that opens up soil structure over time
- Proper grading ensures water flows away from your foundation rather than pooling
If you're dealing with a chronically soggy corner of your yard, topsoil combined with a gravel French drain is often the best solution.
Topsoil for Lawn Renovation
Spring is the best time in Gig Harbor for lawn renovation — cool temperatures and spring rain help new seed establish before summer heat arrives.
Topdressing an existing lawn:
- Apply ¼"–½" of screened topsoil or compost over existing lawn
- Rake lightly to work it into grass
- Overseed thin or bare areas
- Water consistently for 2–3 weeks
New lawn from scratch:
- Grade the area for proper drainage (slope away from structures)
- Apply 4–6 inches of quality topsoil
- Rake smooth and firm
- Seed or sod
- Water daily until established
A bark mulch or compost topdressing applied after seeding helps retain moisture and protect seed from washout during spring rain.
Topsoil for Raised Garden Beds
Harbor Soils topsoil is a popular choice for filling raised beds throughout Gig Harbor. For best results:
Recommended mix for raised beds:
- 60% quality topsoil
- 30% compost
- 10% perlite or coarse sand (for drainage)
A standard 4' × 8' × 12" raised bed needs approximately 1.2 cubic yards total. For three or four beds, you're looking at 3–5 yards — a bulk delivery makes much more sense than buying bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between topsoil and garden soil?
Topsoil is the upper layer of native or blended mineral soil — good for grading, lawn areas, and general fill. Garden soil has added compost and amendments specifically formulated for growing plants. For planting beds, garden soil or a topsoil/compost blend performs better.
