TopgunTT Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi guys, Just wondering what you would pay for some topsoil. I have been ringing around locally and the lowest i can get it delivered is £75 for a 1 ton bulk bag. I never knew it was so expensive? Works out cheaper delivered loose and tipped on the drive. Might have to go down that road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Get it loose and you should pay around £15/ton for grade 2 minimum of 3 tons, or for 10 tons down to around £12/ ton. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopgunTT Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I want it just to bring the back garden back up to level again. Last time it was done when i bought the house 9 years ago and it was a new build, It just seems to have sunk quite badly in places over the years. Everyone in Somerset seems to be so expensive? Don't know if i am looking at the wrong type or what? 10mm Screened is what i have been searching for, Should i be going for something different.

Dnk Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 1 Ton of top soil wont go very far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 It will be cheaper going to a quarry dude and agreeing a "cash" price, with them in person, as dunk says a ton doesnt go far at all, when we used too go too the quarry in my last job it was about £7 quid a ton, but we were collecting and paying cash, and its a total pain shoveling out of the bulk dumpy bags.

TopgunTT Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 1 Ton of top soil wont go very far It's just certain area's that have sunk, Maybe i will look into 2 tons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Work out the volume needed in meters cubed and double it for tonnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 For your info a mate of mine does topsoil up here and he charges £30 for 2 tons delivered locally in a 10 mile radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best i can get locally delivered is 1.5 ton for £100 and that is loose. Just seems so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keener Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I bought a 1 tonne bag for about £70 in January. And yes, it really doesn't go far when spread out - I should have got 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
