Topsoil delivery: How much does it cost?

Having topsoil delivered costs between €15 and €40 per cubic meter, including transport.

If you want to create a flower bed, level your garden, or prepare the ground for new turf, you’ll need Mutterboden (topsoil). This nutrient-rich soil forms the basis for healthy plant growth and a stable garden surface.

What factors influence the price?

The following factors can affect the total cost of topsoil delivery:

• Quality and nutrient content of the soil

• Amount ordered (larger quantities are often cheaper per m³)

• Delivery distance

• Sieve grade (fine, medium, or coarse topsoil)

• Additional services such as spreading or compacting

How much does topsoil cost?

The material cost for topsoil depends mainly on its quality. Basic topsoil is the cheapest, while pre-sieved or enriched soil (with compost or humus) costs more.

Delivery and spreading costs

Delivery usually costs €5–15 per m³, depending on the distance and size of the order.
If you want the topsoil spread or leveled on-site, add another €5–10 per m² for labor.

Example calculation

For a garden area of 30 m² and a topsoil depth of 20 cm (0.2 m), you would need about 6 m³ of soil.
If screened topsoil is chosen at €25/m³ and delivery is €10/m³:

• Material: €150

• Delivery: €60

• Total cost: €210
