Whether you’re planting tomatoes in your backyard or designing a community garden in New Jersey, the success of your raised beds starts with what you put into them—literally. Your soil mix is the foundation of healthy plants, productive crops, and lush landscapes. And when it comes to sourcing soil, the choice between bagged products or bulk delivery can make or break your gardening season.
At Kirk Allen Landscape Supply, we believe that bulk delivery of raised bed soil mix isn’t just convenient—it’s the better, smarter, and more sustainable choice. Here’s everything you need to know about why bulk soil delivery makes sense for gardeners, landscapers, and contractors alike.
What Makes Raised Bed Soil Different?
Raised bed soil mix isn’t your average garden dirt. It’s specially blended to support the unique environment of a raised bed, where drainage, nutrient retention, and soil structure must work together to support healthy roots.
A premium raised bed soil mix usually includes:
- Topsoil for structure and organic matter
- Compost to provide nutrients
- Peat moss or coco coir for moisture retention
- Perlite or sand for improved drainage
This balanced blend ensures roots don’t become waterlogged and get the oxygen and nutrients they need.
Why Go Bulk Instead of Bags?
If you’ve ever filled a raised bed using 1-cubic-foot bags of soil, you know it can take dozens to finish just one box. That adds up fast in terms of cost, time, and physical labor. Bulk delivery offers a far more practical alternative.
1. Bulk Soil Is More Cost-Effective
Bagged soil is usually sold at a higher price per cubic foot. That’s because you’re paying for packaging, branding, and retail distribution. Bulk soil skips all that. You’re buying direct and saving significantly—especially if you need a cubic yard or more.
2. Time-Saving and Convenient
Instead of lugging heavy bags from the store to your car, then from your car to the yard (and cutting each open), bulk delivery drops everything in one spot. With Kirk Allen Landscape Supply, we deliver your raised bed mix right to your driveway or garden area in NJ—ready when you are.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Skip the plastic! Bagged products generate a mountain of plastic waste that often ends up in the trash. Bulk delivery significantly reduces packaging waste and lowers your environmental footprint.
4. Consistent Soil Quality
One of the biggest frustrations with bagged soil is inconsistency between batches. One bag might be loamy and rich, the next full of sticks or clumps. With bulk delivery from a reliable supplier like Kirk Allen Landscape Supply, you get a uniform, screened, and premium blend every time.
How Much Soil Do You Need for Raised Beds?
The volume of soil you need depends on the size and number of beds you’re filling. To estimate:
Formula:
Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Height (ft) = Cubic Feet
Then divide the total cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards—which is how bulk soil is sold.
Example: A 4×8 bed that’s 1 foot deep
4 × 8 × 1 = 32 cubic feet
32 ÷ 27 = about 1.2 cubic yards
Pro tip: Always order a little more than you think you’ll need to account for settling and compaction.

Our standard mix uses organic materials like compost and screened topsoil. If you need certified organic ingredients, let us know in advance.
Q: How much notice do I need to give for delivery?
Typically, we can deliver within 1–2 business days depending on availability and weather.
