Signature Contracting

Signature Contracting runs a topsoil yard in Toledo, Ohio, selling to both trade and retail customers. Google lists the business under 3 categories — Crushed stone supplier, Dirt supplier, Topsoil supplier — which points to a broader inventory than a single-product yard carries.

The business holds a 4.8-star Google rating from 15 reviews. That sits above the Ohio average of 4.5 measured across 1,069 listed suppliers.

What Signature Contracting supplies

Screened topsoil is the workhorse material for new lawns, raised beds and regrading work. Yards typically screen to ½" or ⅜" to pull out rocks, roots and clods, and many sell blended mixes that cut native soil with compost or sand to improve structure and drainage.

Ask which blend you are buying. Straight screened topsoil suits filling and levelling; a 50/50 or 70/30 soil-compost blend performs far better as a planting medium. Pure fill dirt is a different product entirely — unscreened, often clay-heavy, and meant for structural filling rather than growing.

Because Signature Contracting carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Topsoil is sold by the cubic yard. A cubic yard of topsoil weighs roughly 2,000–2,400 lbs depending on moisture, so a half-ton pickup safely carries about one yard.

As a rough guide: 1 yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in; 3 yards covers about 325 sq ft at 3 in; 10 yards covers about 1,080 sq ft at 3 in.

Order slightly over rather than under. Coming up short means a second delivery charge, which almost always costs more than the extra material would have.

Ordering and delivery

Delivery pricing usually keys off distance from the yard, so confirm both the charge to your address and any minimum load before comparing quotes.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 15 reviews on file, 12 are five-star (80%) and 3 are four-star. No reviewer has rated the business below three stars.

Among the suppliers we list across Ohio, this rating places Signature Contracting in the top 33%.

Across the 22 suppliers we list in Toledo, the average rating is 4.8.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.8 drawn from 15 reviews is a reasonable sample for a local yard.

Hours and visiting the yard

Signature Contracting is open 5 days a week, closed Saturday and Sunday. The yard opens as early as 8 AM and runs until 3:45 PM.

The yard is closed on Saturdays, so weekend work needs material ordered and delivered before Friday close.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in Ohio

In Ohio, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering topsoil in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.

Other suppliers nearby

There are 6 other suppliers we list within a short drive, the closest being Just Take It LLC. in Toledo, roughly 2.1 miles away. 52 suppliers sit within a 25-mile radius of this yard.

Pricing the same material at two or three yards is usually worth the phone calls. Bulk rates move with stock on hand, and delivery radius often decides which supplier is genuinely cheapest to your address.

Bulk material pricing is intensely local. Trucking is a large share of the delivered cost, which is why a nearby yard usually beats a cheaper one further out once the full quote lands.
