Delivery heads-up: Dump trucks are heavy. The best drop spots are firm, level surfaces (driveway or hardpack). If the ground is soft/wet or access is tight, plan an alternate drop location — safety comes first.

Topsoil (Screened)

FULL $45 / HALF $25

Our topsoil is a premium blend of native farm loam and our own high-quality compost. You get the fertility of organic matter with the structure and workability of loam — a dark, rich soil that’s screened to ¾" or less for easy spreading.

Loam + compost blend
Screened ≤ ¾"
Easy to spread
Rich, dark finish

Best For

  • New lawn installations (final grade + seed bed prep)
  • Garden bed preparation
  • Tree & shrub planting
3"

For lawn establishment, we recommend ~3" of new topsoil. It gives seed a consistent, nutrient-rich layer to root into and helps smooth out minor grade issues before you seed.

Spring Tip

For spring lawn projects: spread and grade your soil, seed, then keep the surface consistently moist until germination. Avoid burying seed too deep — a light rake-in is usually all you need.

Don’t forget to pair your project with Grillo’s premium grass seed — freshly bagged each season for strong germination and a thicker lawn.

Compost (Screened)

FULL $45 / HALF $25

Our compost is a nutrient-rich soil amendment made from locally collected leaves and clean yard waste, carefully decomposed and screened to ¾" or less. It’s completely natural, contains no sewage sludge or municipal waste, and is safe for all garden and landscape applications.

Screened ≤ ¾"
No sludge / no municipal waste
Improves water retention
Feeds beneficial microbes

By improving soil structure, boosting water retention, and supporting beneficial microbes, compost helps Connecticut gardeners grow healthier plants and bigger harvests — from thicker lawns to brighter flower beds and even prize-winning vegetables and pumpkins.

Ideal For

  • Vegetable gardens: enrich planting beds with organic matter for stronger yields
  • Raised beds: blend into soil mixes for balanced fertility
  • Lawns: topdress thin turf to improve thickness and color
  • Flower beds: improve soil for brighter, longer-lasting blooms
  • Tree & shrub planting: amend backfill soil to encourage rooting

Compost Tips

  • 1
    Garden beds: spread 1–2" and mix into the top few inches of existing soil before planting.
  • 2
    Raised beds: compost works best as part of a blend — mix with quality soil to avoid a bed that’s “too hot” or too soft.
  • 3
    Lawns: for topdressing, apply a thin layer (¼–½") and rake in so grass blades can still breathe.
  • 4
    Mulch substitute: a light compost layer around plants can improve soil over time (leave space around stems/trunks).

Screened Fill

FULL $20 / HALF $10

Our Screened Fill is a standard subsoil material made by processing Clean Fill through our screening equipment. The result is a fine, workable dirt containing small stones no larger than ⅝" — no big rocks, and much easier to handle.

Subsoil (not planting soil)
Screened to ≤ ⅝" stone
Easy to shovel
Great base material

Ideal For

  • Raising grades and filling low areas
  • Backfilling and base material before topsoil is added
  • Easier handling projects: no large stones, simple to move with a shovel or wheelbarrow
3"

Keep in mind: Screened Fill is subsoil, not a growing medium. If you plan to grow grass or plants, finish with a surface layer of about 3" of Screened Topsoil to provide the nutrients and structure needed for healthy growth.

Garden Mix

FULL $48 / HALF $30

Our Garden Mix is a premium 50/50 blend of screened topsoil and organic compost, with an organic 9-0-5 slow-release fertilizer blended in. It’s a ready-to-use mix that combines compost fertility, loam structure, and long-lasting nutrition — giving plants a strong foundation to grow healthier and more productive.

50/50 Topsoil + Compost
Organic 9-0-5 blended in
Ready to plant
High organic content
Slightly acidic pH

With balanced fertility, a slightly acidic pH, and strong organic content, Garden Mix is designed to drive vigorous growth and bigger yields across a wide range of plantings. It’s a “repeat customer” blend — customers and employees have seen standout results using it year after year.

Perfect For

  • Vegetable gardens: build rich beds for higher yields
  • Raised beds: balanced mix, ready to plant
  • Flower gardens: promotes vibrant color and extended bloom
  • New plantings: supports establishment of trees, shrubs, and perennials
  • Soil improvement: rejuvenates tired or sandy soils with organic matter

Garden Mix Tips

  • 1
    Raised beds: fill and plant right away. Water thoroughly after planting — organic-rich mixes settle a bit.
  • 2
    In-ground beds: spread a few inches and blend into existing soil to improve structure and fertility.
  • 3
    Moisture management: compost helps hold water — avoid overwatering early on. Aim for consistent moisture, not soggy soil.
  • 4
    Mulch finish: top with mulch after planting to reduce evaporation and keep beds more stable through summer heat.
Optional add-ons: For gardeners who want to fine-tune nutrition and texture, we also offer Protene 6-5-6 Organic Fertilizer and peat moss as optional additions to blend with Garden Mix.

Topdress Mix

FULL $68 / HALF $35

Give your lawn the professional treatment with our Topdress Mix — a carefully blended soil mix designed for lawn repair, turf maintenance, and soil improvement. It’s built to spread smoothly, level minor imperfections, and create a healthier, more resilient growing environment.

Bulk Subsoil for Large Projects

Clean Fill (Unscreened Subsoil)

Price: $16 / yd • Best for deep fills & rough grading

What Is Clean Fill?

Clean Fill is an unscreened subsoil commonly accumulated from foundation digging on construction sites. It often contains a mix of soil and rocks (some can be quite large), which is why it’s ideal for projects where you need volume and stability — not a finished planting surface.

Best Uses

  • 1
    Deep fills (over 12"): great when you need a lot of material to bring up grade quickly.
  • 2
    Raising grade / rough leveling: use it as base material before adding finished topsoil.
  • 3
    Base under pads & heavy-duty areas: roads, equipment pads, and similar projects.

Important Notes

Not for growing: Clean Fill contains little to no organic matter and won’t support grass or plant growth on its own. If you’re planting or seeding, finish with Screened Topsoil (typically 3"+).
Requires equipment: because of rocks, Clean Fill is difficult to move by hand. Plan on using machinery for spreading and grading.

Pro move: Use Clean Fill to build grade, then cap with a quality top layer for the finish you want.
On-Site Screening

From Unscreened Fill to Finished Screened Fill

In this clip, we’re screening subsoil with our Warrior 1800 screener. You’ll see the difference between unscreened fill and the finished screened fill (the end product after screening). Each material has its place — this side-by-side makes it easy to understand which one fits your project.

Unscreened Fill = rough base Screened Fill = finer, workable

How Our Compost & Soil Products Are Made

We operate one of Connecticut’s most established organic recycling and composting facilities in Milford. Each year we recycle high volumes of leaves, brush, and clean yard waste and transform it through a carefully managed aerobic composting process. Piles are turned, monitored, and cured until they break down into stable, nutrient-rich compost.

Finished compost is then screened to 3/4" or smaller, producing a dark, earthy amendment that’s ideal for lawns, vegetable gardens, flower beds, and tree & shrub plantings. That compost also becomes the backbone of our in-house soil blends, including screened topsoil and garden mixes with consistent quality control.

CT DEEP permitted organic recycling facility: our soils and compost begin as recycled organics processed locally — a closed-loop system that keeps organic matter out of landfills and returns it to the soil.
