Want a Green, Healthy Lawn in Utah? Start from the Ground Up

If your grass struggles to grow or looks patchy no matter how much you water or fertilize—it might not be your lawn’s fault. It might be your soil.

In Salt Lake City, where native soil is often rocky, compacted, or clay-heavy, a layer of quality topsoil is the secret ingredient to transforming your yard. That’s why more and more homeowners are skipping the bags and going straight to bulk topsoil delivery.

Here’s why it works—and how to get started.

Why Salt Lake City Soil Needs Help

Utah’s natural soil can be:

• Low in organic nutrients
• Poorly draining or overly compacted
• Hard for new roots to penetrate

Before laying sod, planting grass seed, or starting a garden, you need to fix the foundation. That means adding a few inches of screened, nutrient-rich topsoil that promotes deep root growth and improves water retention.

What Is Screened Topsoil?

At DIY Landscape Supply, our screened topsoil is sifted to remove clumps, rocks, and debris. It’s ideal for:

• Lawn leveling before sod installation
• Filling low spots and depressions
• Prepping gardens and planter beds
• Rebuilding poor-quality native soil

• 1 cubic yard covers 100 sq ft at 3 inches deep
• For new sod: 3–4 inches of topsoil
• For leveling: 1–2 inches over uneven areas
• For raised beds: 10–12 inches, ideally mixed with compost
