Topsoil Products We Deliver
Pricing below is current per-yard pickup pricing; delivery is added based on distance and volume.
3-Way Topsoil Mix · $32.99 / yard
Our most popular general-purpose topsoil. A screened blend used for lawn topdressing, garden beds, raised beds, regrading, and filling low spots. Great default if you're not sure which mix you need.
5-Way Topsoil Mix · $45.99 / yard
A richer five-component blend with more organic matter built in. Better for new vegetable beds, fresh garden installs, and any project where you want planting-ready soil out of the truck.
Lawn & Flower Mix · $42.99 / yard
Lighter-textured topsoil blend designed for new lawn establishment, overseeding projects, and ornamental flower beds.
Garden Mix (Mushroom Compost Blend) · $58.99 / yard
Topsoil heavily blended with mushroom compost. Premium planting medium for vegetable gardens, perennial beds, and any spot you want to maximize plant performance.
Screened Fill Dirt · $12.99 / yard
Not topsoil, but worth mentioning: when you need volume to bring grade up under future topsoil, fill dirt is the budget-friendly bottom layer. Cap with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil for planting.

Common Bremerton Topsoil Projects
Lawn Renovation
Bremerton's older neighborhoods (Manette, Charleston, parts of West Bremerton) often have compacted soils after decades of foot traffic and minimal soil management. Topdressing with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of screened topsoil annually rebuilds the surface and gives grass roots a fresh layer to grow into.
3-Way Topsoil Mix or Lawn & Flower Mix works well here. See our Western Washington spring lawn care guide and our step-by-step lawn topdressing guide.
Garden Bed Construction
For new in-ground beds in Bremerton's heavy native soil, plan on 8 to 12 inches of topsoil over the existing surface. Many Bremerton yards sit on compacted glacial till that needs the topsoil layer to be the actual root zone.
Raised Bed Fill
A typical 4 ft × 8 ft × 12-inch raised bed needs about 1.2 cubic yards. For Bremerton's wet winters, raised beds are especially useful because they drain better than in-ground beds. See our raised bed soil mix guide.
Yard Leveling and Drainage
Many Bremerton properties slope toward Sinclair Inlet, Dyes Inlet, or Port Washington Narrows. Settling, drainage repair, and erosion control all need topsoil. For deep fills, use Screened Fill Dirt as bulk fill, then cap with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil. See how to level a yard and our PNW drainage repair guide.
Tree Planting and Replacement
Bremerton's mature street and yard trees occasionally come down in storms. Replanting in disturbed soil benefits from a topsoil amendment around the planting hole. 5-Way Topsoil Mix or Garden Mix gives the new tree a much better start.
Why Bremerton Soil Often Needs Help
Like the rest of Kitsap County, Bremerton sits on glacial till, the rocky, compacted soil left behind when the Pleistocene glaciers retreated. Native soils here typically:
- Compact easily, especially under foot traffic and equipment
- Drain slowly, holding water in winter and turning hard in summer
- Run acidic (pH 5.0 to 6.0 is common) which limits nutrient availability
- Lack a meaningful topsoil layer in many cases because so much was scraped off during construction
That's why most successful Bremerton yards rely on imported topsoil, compost, and bark mulch as the foundation. WSU Extension's Kitsap County office is a free resource if you want to test your soil pH and nutrient profile before ordering large volumes. See our soil testing guide for how to do this yourself.
How Much Topsoil Do You Need?
Formula: Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (in) ÷ 324 = Cubic yards needed
Or use our topsoil calculator.
| Project | Area | Depth | Yards Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lawn topdressing | 1,000 sq ft | 1/2 in | 1.5 yards |
| Small vegetable bed | 200 sq ft | 8 in | 5 yards |
| 4×8 raised bed | 32 sq ft | 12 in | 1.2 yards |
| Front yard regrade | 1,500 sq ft | 4 in | 18.5 yards |
| Lot leveling (fill + topsoil cap) | 2,000 sq ft | 6 in fill + 4 in topsoil | ~25 yards combined |
Tip: Order 10 to 15 percent over your calculated need to absorb settling and edge effects.
Topsoil Delivery: How It Works
- Calculate volume. Use the table above or our calculator.
- Pick a product. Most homeowners go with 3-Way Topsoil Mix unless they're planting immediately.
- Place the order. Visit harborsoils.com or call 253-857-5125.
- Confirm access. Many Bremerton properties have steep driveways or narrow access. Tell us about hills, overhead clearance, or tight turnarounds when you order.
- We deliver and dump. Standard drop is on driveway or flat staging area. The truck will not drive on a wet Bremerton lawn (we'd leave ruts).

Topsoil vs. Garden Soil vs. Compost
If you're not sure which fits your project:
- Plain topsoil: screened mineral soil. Best for grading, lawn fill, and bulk volume.
- Garden Mix / topsoil blends: topsoil plus compost. Best for vegetable beds and ornamental plantings.
- Compost: decomposed organic matter. Best as a top-dressing or amendment, not as a standalone planting medium.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does topsoil cost in Bremerton?
Per-yard pickup pricing at Harbor Soils currently runs $32.99 for 3-Way Topsoil Mix, $42.99 for Lawn & Flower Mix, and $45.99 for 5-Way Topsoil Mix. Delivery is added based on distance from our Gig Harbor yard.
How fast can you deliver to Bremerton?
Most weekday orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Same-day is sometimes possible early in the week or for nearby Bremerton addresses; call to confirm.
Do you deliver to East Bremerton and Manette?
Yes. We deliver throughout zips 98310, 98311, 98312, and 98337.
What's the difference between topsoil and Garden Mix?
Topsoil is screened mineral soil. Garden Mix adds compost (mushroom or fish-based) for immediate planting. If you're planting in the same week you order, Garden Mix is worth the extra cost. For filling, regrading, or topdressing, plain topsoil is the right call.
How much topsoil do I need for a new lawn?
For a new lawn from bare soil, plan on 4 to 6 inches of topsoil. For overseeding or topdressing, 1/4 to 1/2 inch is plenty.
Will the truck drive on my yard?
No, our trucks stay on driveways and other paved or graveled surfaces. Bremerton yards are typically too soft to handle a loaded truck without rutting. We dump on driveway or in a flat staging area, and you can wheelbarrow into place.
Can you spread the topsoil for me?
Standard delivery is dump-only. For larger projects we can refer you to local Bremerton landscapers who handle spreading and grading.
