Romeoville IL Soil: Figuring Out How Much You Need
Determining the right quantity of soil is important to your project. If you ever have questions about calculating the right amount, our landscaping experts are always glad to assist you.
A top thing to keep in mind is that one cubic yard of soil (27 cubic feet) weighs about 2,000 pounds (one ton). If you’ll be picking up your black dirt or gardening soil with a truck or a trailer, you’ll want to make sure it can handle the total load. To ensure proper tractor loading, the trailer or vehicle should not have a cap or a rack*.
You can also have us deliver your black dirt or gardening soil to your Romeoville residence (two–cubic yard minimum). We’ll bring up to 12 cubic yards straight to your driveway. You also can call us in the morning for same-day delivery!
*Please note Tim Wallace Soil Mix Supply is not responsible for vehicle damage during loading or unloading.

Fun Fact: Romeoville (IL)
The Des Plaines River has had a big role in Romeoville history. During the 18th century, fur traders trapped beavers and stored supplies on the river’s 101-acre Isle a la Cache, located on Romeoville’s east side. The island received its name as a site for the French voyageurs who traded, hunted, trapped and fished there. (crazytourist.com)
