About Four-Way Mix
Four-Way Mix is a screened growing-soil blend for new lawns, sod preparation, garden beds and raised beds. It is intended as a planting layer that can be spread and raked into place, rather than as structural fill beneath a hardscape.
The name describes a blended product, but the exact ingredients and proportions should be confirmed with our yard team before you rely on them for a particular planting plan. Tell us what you are growing and how deep the new layer will be so we can help you compare it with other soil options.
Questions about Four-Way Mix
Where can I use Four-Way Mix?
It is commonly used for lawn and sod preparation, garden beds and raised beds. Match the soil depth and planting requirements to your particular project.
How is it different from clean fill?
Four-Way Mix is a growing layer for planting. Clean fill is used to build volume or grade below a suitable finished layer. They serve different purposes and should not be substituted without checking the project requirements.
Is Four-Way Mix the same as black dirt?
“Black dirt” is a broad term and does not describe one consistent blend. Ask us about the current Four-Way Mix formulation and which soil products are available if you need a specific ingredient mix.
How much soil do I need?
Measure the planting area and choose a depth for your project. With length and width in feet and depth in inches, length × width × depth ÷ 324 gives an approximate volume in cubic yards. Add an allowance for uneven ground and settling after confirming the plan.
