Unscreened Topsoil
Also known as: Fill Dirt, Unscreened Fill, Native Topsoil, Raw Topsoil
Unscreened Topsoil is native soil pulled straight from the ground without running through a screen. That means it still carries some rocks, roots, and clumps, but it's an economical way to move a lot of dirt when you're rough grading, filling low spots, or building up grade before a finish layer goes on. When you need volume and the surface doesn't have to be perfect, this is the material.
Applications
- Rough Grading
- Filling Low Areas
- Building Up Grade
- Base Layer Under Screened Soil
- General Landscape Fill
Why It Works
The economical way to move bulk soil.
Because it skips the screening step, Unscreened Topsoil costs less per yard than screened material. That makes it the practical choice when you’re filling deep holes, leveling rough ground, or bringing a low area up to grade and the volume is what matters, not the finish.
It still has organic content, so it’s a real soil and not just inert fill. A common Hudson Valley approach is to use Unscreened Topsoil to build up the bulk of the grade, then cap it with a few inches of screened Loam where you need a clean planting or lawn surface. You get the depth you need without paying screened prices for the whole job.
