Soil Plus (Bulk)

About Soil Plus

CR Mulch Soil Plus is a versatile bulk soil option for garden beds, planting areas, lawn projects, and landscapes where additional quality soil is needed. It is especially useful for homeowners and landscape professionals who are creating new planting areas or improving existing landscape soil.

Soil Plus is sold in bulk by the cubic yard, with pickup and delivery available throughout Utah County, Salt Lake County, and surrounding areas.

What Is Soil Plus Used For?

Soil Plus can be used for a variety of residential and commercial landscape projects, including:

• New garden beds
• Flower beds and planting areas
• Landscape beds around shrubs and plants
• Improving existing landscape soil
• Adding soil depth to planting areas
• Lawn and landscape renovation
• New lawn projects
• General residential and commercial landscaping

If your project involves plants, lawns, or an existing landscape that needs additional soil, Soil Plus is an option worth considering.

Soil Plus for Garden Beds

Creating a garden bed often requires more than simply digging into the existing ground.

Depending on the property, the existing soil may be shallow, compacted, rocky, or otherwise difficult to work with. Adding bulk soil allows you to increase the usable soil depth and create a more workable planting area.

Soil Plus can be used when:

• Creating a new garden bed
• Expanding an existing bed
• Adding soil to a planting area
• Replacing soil removed during a landscape project
• Building up areas around new plantings

The appropriate soil depth and preparation will depend on what you intend to grow and the conditions already present at the site.

Soil Plus for Flower Beds and Landscape Planting

Soil Plus is also a practical choice for flower beds, shrubs, ornamental plants, and other landscape planting areas.

Adding new soil can be especially useful during a landscape renovation or when converting an area that was not previously used for planting.

Before planting, consider drainage, irrigation, sunlight, mature plant size, and the particular soil requirements of the plants being installed.

Using Soil Plus to Improve Existing Soil

You don't always need to replace the soil in a landscape. Sometimes the goal is to add better material to an existing area.

Soil Plus can be incorporated into projects where homeowners or landscapers want to:

• Add usable soil depth
• Refresh an existing planting bed
• Build up landscape areas
• Replace material lost through previous grading or construction
• Create additional planting space
• Improve the workability of an existing landscape area

How the new material should be incorporated depends on the existing soil and the intended use.

Soil Plus for Utah Gardens and Landscapes

Soil conditions can vary considerably from one Utah property to another. New construction, previous grading, compaction, rocky ground, and the native soil at the site can all affect how easy an area is to landscape.

Bringing in additional soil gives homeowners and contractors greater control over the planting area rather than relying entirely on the material already present.

For larger gardens and landscape beds, purchasing Soil Plus by the cubic yard can be considerably more practical than transporting individual bags.

Soil Plus vs. Mountain Organic Soil

Both products can be useful for landscape and planting projects, but customers may choose between them based on the specific application.

Soil Plus is a strong option when the emphasis is on planting areas, garden beds, and adding or improving soil in an existing landscape.

Mountain Organic Soil is a versatile general-purpose soil used for lawns, gardens, planting areas, grading, and broader landscape projects.

Because some applications overlap, contact CR Mulch if you're unsure which product is the better choice for your property.

Soil Plus vs. Soil Preparation

The biggest difference is the purpose of the project.

Choose Soil Plus when your project is centered on garden beds, planting areas, or improving the soil in an existing landscape.

Choose Soil Preparation when the primary job is establishing grade, leveling a site, filling low areas, or preparing ground before sod, seed, or a new landscape installation.

This distinction can be especially helpful on new-construction properties where both grading and planting work may be required.

Soil Plus vs. Compost

Soil and compost generally serve different roles in a landscape.

Soil Plus provides soil volume for planting beds and landscape projects.

Compost is typically used as an amendment to add organic matter to existing soil.

Depending on the project and existing soil conditions, a landscape may benefit from soil, compost, or a combination of materials.

How Much Soil Plus Do I Need?

Soil Plus is sold by the cubic yard.

To estimate the amount needed, measure the square footage of your garden, planting bed, or landscape area and determine the average depth of new material required.

As a general volume estimate, one cubic yard covers approximately:

• 324 square feet at 1 inch deep
• 162 square feet at 2 inches deep
• 108 square feet at 3 inches deep
• 81 square feet at 4 inches deep
• 54 square feet at 6 inches deep
• 40.5 square feet at 8 inches deep
• 27 square feet at 12 inches deep

For example, a 100-square-foot garden bed requiring 6 inches of additional material would require approximately 1.85 cubic yards before accounting for settling, compaction, and site variation.

Actual requirements vary based on existing grade, soil conditions, desired depth, and the shape of the planting area.

How Much Soil Do I Need for a Garden Bed?

For garden beds, depth can matter just as much as square footage.

A shallow addition over existing soil requires considerably less material than creating a deeper new planting area. Before ordering, determine whether you're:

• Adding a thin layer to an existing bed
• Increasing the depth of existing soil
• Building a new planting area
• Filling a substantially raised area

Measure the actual dimensions whenever possible rather than estimating by sight. For raised beds or other contained spaces, calculate the internal length, width, and fill depth.

Bulk Soil Plus vs. Bagged Garden Soil

Small bags can make sense for containers and minor planting projects.

For larger garden beds and landscape areas, bulk soil eliminates the need to purchase, transport, open, and dispose of numerous individual bags.

Buying Soil Plus by the cubic yard is particularly useful for:

• Large garden beds
• Multiple landscape beds
• New landscape installations
• Major yard renovations
• Contractor projects
• Properties requiring substantial additional soil

Preparing for Your Soil Plus Delivery

Bulk Soil Plus is delivered loose rather than packaged in individual bags.

Before delivery, determine where the material can be safely unloaded and how you will move it from the delivery location to your garden or landscape.

Consider:

• Delivery vehicle access
• Driveway width and surface
• Overhead clearance
• Irrigation and landscape features
• Distance from the unloading point to the project
• Weather and ground conditions

For backyard gardens where a delivery truck cannot reach the actual planting area, plan how the material will be moved from the drop location before ordering.
