BULK TOPSOIL & PREMIUM COMPOST BLENDS
The foundation of a thriving landscape. Nutrient-dense soil and compost delivered directly to your Treasure Valley home or job site.
A beautiful landscape starts from the ground up. Whether you are leveling an uneven yard, filling brand-new raised garden beds, or trying to breathe life back into an old lawn, the quality of your dirt dictates the success of your plants. At Victory Greens, our Meridian yard supplies high-quality, screened topsoil, rich organic compost, and specialty planting blends in massive bulk yardages, saving you from hauling hundreds of heavy, expensive plastic bags.
CONQUERING IDAHO’S TOUGH NATIVE SOILS
If you have ever tried to dig a hole in the Treasure Valley, you know exactly what we are up against. Our native soil is heavy, alkaline clay, often referred to as ‘hardpan.’ When clay gets wet, it drowns plant roots; when it dries, it bakes as hard as concrete. By tilling our premium, organic compost into your native dirt, you break up that dense clay, dramatically improve water drainage, and introduce the vital nutrients your new trees, sod, and shrubs need to survive.
Garden Compost
Our garden compost is quality dairy compost. For 26 years, our composter has produced high organic manure based compost for Victory Greens. After developing a system to monitor the microbial population that results in an orderly decomposition of organic matter, he utilizes microorganisms to break down and build our garden compost. Our compost has the appearance of dark rich soil. Our garden compost is 99.9% weed-free, it has been cooked to 160 degrees to ensure complete decomposition.
Cascade Compost
Our cascade compost has been a local favorite for over 25 years. A Beautiful blend of pine, fir, sawdust, sand, small gravel and soil screened to 1/2 inch. It has been decomposed for over 10 years. It is dark in color and perfect for top dressing existing flower beds, amending soil or for mixing in new plantings.
Decomposed Granite
Our decomposed granite is a larger grit sand composed of very small, fine gravel. It makes a good base because it is generally more stable when compacted than ordinary sand. It is popular for constructing garden pathways and walkways. Many landscape professionals utilize decomposed granite in the construction of bases for paver patios, retaining walls and other hardscaping projects.
Paver Sand
Our paver sand is a moderate grit sand with 1/8 – 1/4 inch fine gravels blended in. Our landscape professionals use this sand below paver patios and flagstone stone patios. Its size is consistent which allows it to be graded easily to get your pavers or patio stone level. Once compacted it keeps the hardscape landscape material stable.
Sandbox Sand
Our sandbox sand is rounded grit sand. It is cleaner sand that will not track into your house as easily as fractured sands that bind and stick to clothing. This rounded sand works great under pools, in sandboxes and children’s play areas.
Premium Topsoil
Our premium topsoil comes from an exclusive location near the Boise River. This sandy loam topsoil is screened to eliminate rocks, weeds, and other contaminants. It has never been exposed to any chemical treatments and will make your plants grow like you won’t believe!
Gardenbox Soil
Gardenbox soil is perfect for raised bed or in-ground gardening, including organic vegetable gardens, herb gardens, berries, and roses. It’s a free draining soil composed of wood mulch, aged dairy compost, loam, organic compost, and red lava rock. We recommend top dressing with compost after 60 days.
3/4 Road Mix Gravel
Three-quarter road mix, often referred to as 3/4″ minus, is a versatile construction aggregate designed for stability and compaction. It consists of crushed stone, or gravel, where the largest pieces are roughly 3/4 of an inch in diameter, blended with smaller pebbles, sand, and fine dust.
HOW MUCH SOIL OR COMPOST DO I NEED?
Your required yardage depends entirely on your project. Top-dressing a lawn requires a very thin layer, while filling a new garden box requires deep volume.
Rule of thumb:
1 cubic yard covers approximately 120 square feet at 2 inches deep.
Quick reference guide:
Top dressing a lawn: Plan for a 1/4 to 1/3 inch depth of compost.
Amending a garden bed: Plan for 2 to 3 inches of compost tilled into the native dirt.
Filling a raised garden box: Measure the exact Length x Width x Depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get the exact cubic yardage needed.
HIGH-VOLUME DELIVERY DIRECT TO YOUR DRIVEWAY
Soil is incredibly heavy and dense. Trying to haul enough dirt to fill a garden box in the back of an SUV is a recipe for disaster. Let our fleet handle the heavy lifting. We deliver bulk loads of topsoil and compost directly to your property using our high-capacity dump trucks, safely depositing the material onto your concrete driveway so you can get straight to work.
FREQUENTLY ASKED SOIL QUESTIONS
What is the difference between topsoil and compost?
Topsoil is actual dirt (minerals, sand, silt, and clay) that provides structural support for roots. Compost is purely decayed organic matter (like leaves, bark, and manure) that provides intense nutrients but has very little structural stability. They work best when mixed together!
Can I fill my raised garden beds with 100% compost?
We highly advise against it. Pure compost is too ‘hot’ (nutrient-dense) and can actually burn the roots of young plants. Furthermore, because it is 100% organic matter, it will decompose and shrink significantly over a season, leaving your boxes half-empty. Always use a blended mix of topsoil and compost for raised beds.
How do I ‘top-dress’ by lawn with compost?
Top-dressing is a fantastic way to rejuvenate a struggling lawn. First, aerate your grass. Then, shovel small piles of compost across the yard and use a push-broom or the back of a rake to sweep a very thin layer (about 1/4 inch) evenly into the grass canopy so the blades are still visible.
