Delivery
Tipped loose or in bulk bags
Pick whatever suits the site. Not sure? Say so on the form, describe the access and we’ll advise.
Tighter or tidier sites
Bulk bags
The soil comes in bags lifted off by the lorry’s crane, so it stays contained and can go over a low wall or kerb where the lorry has room to stand.

What’s the smallest load you deliver?
Five tonnes. If you’d like two grades on the same delivery, each grade starts at five tonnes.
How far does a tonne of topsoil go?
For screened topsoil, roughly 7m² at 100mm deep or about 5m² at 150mm. Our topsoil calculator does the sums for your own area and depth.
Can the lorry tip on my drive?
Often, if a tipper can get in and the surface can carry a loaded lorry. Choose “not sure” on the form, describe the access and we’ll advise.
Why aren’t prices on the website?
Much of the cost of a bulk load depends on where it’s going and how the lorry reaches it, so every request is quoted for its own site.
Got a tonnage? Let’s price it.
The grade, the tonnes and the postcode are enough for us to start on your quote.
