Topsoil and Materials in Springville
The right truckload depends on where you live in Springville. Out on the west fields and the Hobble Creek bottoms, the native soil is heavy lakebed clay. It does not need more clay. It needs loose, screened topsoil worked into the top layer, plus compost to open it up. Dump clay-heavy fill on clay and you get a lawn that stays soggy in spring and cracks in August.
On the east bench the problem flips. Lots up Canyon Road and around East Hobble Creek sit on cobble fan soil that drains so fast it barely holds water. Those yards need more topsoil depth to hold moisture for roots, and the rock that comes out of the ground is often worth keeping for walls and dry beds instead of paying to haul it off.
Our trucks haul screened topsoil, decorative rock, mulch, fill and road base, and our crew spreads it with the right equipment. We prep the native ground first, set the depth for the lawn or bed, and grade so water leaves the house. If you just need a load dropped in the driveway we can do that, but most of the value is in the spread and the grade.
Springville, Art City, spreads from about 4,400 feet by Utah Lake up past 5,600 feet on the east bench, so a west-side clay yard and a bench view-lot are different soil, drainage and frost worlds, and one quote does not fit both.

The Springville challenges
A few inches of topsoil over unbroken clay makes a sharp layer that water and roots will not cross. Water perches on top, the lawn roots shallow, and you end up running more high-pressure secondary water to keep it green. The clay has to be loosened first.
Cobble fan soil lets water straight through. Thin topsoil on a bench lot dries out between waterings, and the lawn browns at the high spots first. Those yards need deeper topsoil and organic matter to hold water through July and August.
Digging or tilling bench ground turns up cobble and boulders. Spreading topsoil over them leaves lumps under the lawn and voids that settle later. The rock has to come out or be buried deep, not raked into the surface and hidden.
Raising a low, wet spot near Hobble Creek with dumped fill rarely works. Loose fill on soft, wet ground settles and pumps water up through it. It has to go down in compacted lifts, often with fabric under it, to hold its grade.
The J&H approach
On clay lots we rip or till the native soil, blend in compost, then spread screened topsoil over it. The blended layer lets water soak in and roots go deep, which saves water over the whole secondary season.
On bench lots we pull the larger rock, spread deeper topsoil to hold moisture, and use the cobble we pull in borders, walls or dry creek beds. That saves you the haul-off, and it looks like it belongs on the hill.
We place fill and road base in thin lifts and compact each one. On wet creek-bottom ground we lay fabric first so the base does not mix into the mud. That keeps patios flat and keeps new grades from sinking a year later.
