Quantity
Soil & Compost is sold by the cubic yard.
Beds get measured in cubic yards, and that is how the loader operator thinks about it too. Square feet × depth in inches ÷ 324, and round up.

Northern Michigan
Northern Michigan is sand and glacial gravel over a short growing season. Ground freezes deeper and thaws later than downstate, which shortens the delivery window at both ends of the year.
Northern Michigan runs a short season. Yards typically open once the frost is out — often not until late April — and the spring rush is compressed into a few weeks. Order early if you want a specific colour.
Dropping soil & compost in Traverse City
Traverse City is a town of about 15,678, and deliveries here are longer rural drives, where the approach decides where the pile lands.
Long drives and two-tracks
Outside the built-up areas the drive itself is often the constraint — a long gravel two-track, a soft shoulder after rain, or a turning circle a loaded tri-axle cannot make. If there is a spot near the road that works better than the house, say so and the driver will use it.
