Which depth?
Use 4 to 6 inches for a new lawn on poor soil, 2 inches for leveling, and a thin skim when top dressing. More is not always better: piling soil around trees can harm their roots.
Buying it
Order bulk; bags at this volume cost far more and mean a lot of lifting. Ask whether the soil is screened, which removes rocks and roots. See how much a yard of topsoil covers.

Checking quality
Good bulk soil is dark, crumbly and free of trash, large rocks and weed roots. Ask whether it is screened and whether compost is blended in. If possible, look at the pile before ordering or ask for a sample.
Common mistakes
Buying by the bag for a large area is the classic error: dozens of bags cost far more than a bulk yard. Another is skipping compost or using unscreened soil full of clods and roots. Spreading soil when it is soaking wet compacts it and makes it hard for roots and water to move.
Timing the job
Plan deliveries for a dry stretch so the pile and the ground are workable. Early spring mulching suppresses weeds before they sprout, while fall soil work gives beds time to settle before planting.
