What Southern States Burgess Farm Service supplies

Garden centers carry bagged soil, compost and mulch alongside plants and often sell bulk material from a yard out back. That combination is convenient when a planting project needs both the medium and the stock in one trip.

Bagged product suits containers and small beds; once a project passes roughly ten bags, loose material almost always works out cheaper per cubic foot. Ask whether bulk pricing is available before loading a cart.

Full-line landscape supply yards stock soil, mulch, decorative stone, boulders, pavers, edging and often sod under one roof. That matters when a project needs several materials, because combining them into a single delivery avoids paying separate trip charges to multiple suppliers.

Because Southern States Burgess Farm Service 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

Garden and soil products is sold by the cubic yard. One cubic yard equals about 27 cubic feet — roughly thirteen 2-cubic-foot bags.

As a rough guide: 1 yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in; 2 yards covers about 215 sq ft at 3 in; 5 yards covers about 540 sq ft at 3 in.

Have length, width and target depth ready when you phone. Yard staff convert those into cubic yards far more reliably than a generic online calculator, and they know how their own material settles.

Ordering and delivery

Ask about delivery minimums and trip charges up front — for smaller orders these often matter more to the final bill than the headline per-cubic yard price.

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.
