Which soil matches the yard?
Australian yards are not one soil. Clay, coastal sand, new turf and a veggie patch each need a different blend.
Garden beds
Garden soil mix
Ready-to-plant garden mix for new beds, raised beds and topping up tired soil. Blended with organic matter so you can plant into it.
Garden Soil MixVeggie patches
Veggie mix
A richer vegetable garden soil for raised veggie beds, herbs, berries and fruit trees. Hungry crops need more than plain topsoil.

Buying guide
Soil words used in Australia
Landscape yards, councils and gardeners do not all use the same name. These are the terms people search when they want soil delivered.
- Topsoil
- The darker, workable layer used for lawns and gardens. Screened topsoil has been passed over a screen so large rocks and roots are removed.
- Garden mix
- Garden soil blended with sand and organic matter. It is for planting. Plain topsoil is better for levelling and as a base layer underneath.
- Veggie mix
- A richer garden soil sold for vegetable patches and raised beds. Australian landscape yards often label it veggie mix or vegetable mix.
- Turf underlay
- Also called underlay or lawn soil. A sandy blend laid about 100 mm deep before new turf, so water drains and roots establish.
- Sandy loam
- Sand and loam together. It levels smoothly, drains faster than clay, and is a common lawn and turf-base soil.
- 80/20 blend
- Eighty per cent sand and twenty per cent soil. The usual lawn top-dressing mix for filling hollows without smothering the grass.
- Clean fill
- Uncontaminated natural soil for changing levels. It is not a planting soil. Put 100 to 300 mm of topsoil or garden mix on top if you will turf or plant.
- VENM and ENM
- Virgin excavated natural material and excavated natural material are waste classifications, mainly used in New South Wales when soil leaves a site. They are not the same as landscaping topsoil or clean fill, and this order does not include a VENM or ENM certificate.

Before you order
Soil delivery questions
How much does soil delivery cost in Australia?
The soil itself is priced per tonne and the price includes GST. Delivery is calculated from your address, the quantity and the tipper needed to carry the weight. You see the delivered total before you pay.
What is the difference between topsoil and garden soil?
Screened topsoil is a general-purpose soil for levelling, filling and building up garden areas. Garden soil, often called garden mix, is blended with organic matter so it is ready to plant into. Veggie mix is richer again, for vegetable patches.
How much does a cubic metre of soil weigh?
Garden mixes are about 1.0 to 1.1 tonnes per cubic metre. Topsoil, sandy loam and clean fill are about 1.3 to 1.5 tonnes. Wet soil weighs more, so the truck is matched to the load.
What soil should I put under new turf?
Use turf underlay or sandy loam about 100 mm deep. Level and lightly compact it, then lay buffalo, kikuyu, couch or zoysia. For an existing lawn, an 80/20 sand and soil blend is the usual top dressing.
What soil is best for Australian natives?
Many natives, including grevilleas, banksias and waratahs, are sensitive to phosphorus. Use a low-phosphorus native soil mix rather than a rich veggie mix or a high-phosphorus garden blend.
Is clean fill the same as VENM?
No. Clean fill here is landscaping soil for raising levels and filling holes. VENM (virgin excavated natural material) and ENM (excavated natural material) are classifications for soil being moved off a site, and they need the right paperwork. If a council or receiving site asks for a certificate, this order will not supply one.
How much soil do I need for a lawn or garden bed?
Multiply length by width by depth in metres. A 10 m by 5 m lawn at 100 mm deep is 5 cubic metres. A 4 m by 1 m bed at 300 mm deep is 1.2 cubic metres. The calculator on this page does that sum and converts it to tonnes.
Can I get bulk soil delivered in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth?
Enter your site address when you order. Delivery is quoted for that address and depends on carrier availability, access and the size of the load. The same applies in Adelaide, Canberra, the Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong and other areas we can service.
What is the smallest soil order?
You can order from 1 cubic metre. Larger jobs are split across the right tipper, and the booking shows the number of loads before you pay.
Do I need a different service to get rid of soil?
Yes. Buying soil and taking soil away are different jobs. Excavated soil, clay and mixed spoil need a disposal booking, and some loads need classification before a facility will take them.
