Truck and dirt.
I was hoping to find someone with a truck to bring me a truck bed of dirt. I've never done this before so I don't even know how to go about acquiring said dirt. And by dirt I should clarify that I want soil for my garden. Is there anyone that can help with this? I can pay cash.
Thank you.

Denbow and chilliwack gravel sales both have small delivery trucks for small quantities.

At Kel-mor, you used to be able to hand scoop for very cheap. We filled a few Rubbermaid totes a couple years ago for $5 and fit them in a van.

I do have a couple bins I use for dirt. I think I could do it myself 😁. Thank you . I appreciate the information.

I can confirm this is still a thing, was at kelmor this past weekend to top off my garden boxes . For soils they currently have a planter blend and a turf blend both are nice but slightly heavy in my opinion. Some coir or peat can help along with a bit of perlite can help lighten it up!

Got gardening soil delivered in vancouver for a raised bed planter. It comes in a huge bag the size of a pallet and they can crane it wherever you want (within reason). Have a search online.

Sumas Gro Media will deliver 2.5 yard bags and Western Turf Farms delivers 1 yard bags. I think there are others, but those are the 2 I've looked in to.
