Potting Soil: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $40.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $17.00 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For potting soil, the drivers are capacity, material, outlet configuration, secondary containment, uv resistance, fitting size, level indication, nitrogen content — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real US-facing bulk potting-soil quotes cluster around about $100 per cubic yard from Hsu Growing Supply, with other bulk soil sellers listing roughly $125.99 to $499.99 for bulk soil formats and garden-center retail equivalents of about $25 to $70 per cubic yard depending on mix and amendments. Prices move most with formulation richness: basic peat/perlite/container mix is cheaper, while amended, organic, moisture-retentive, or branded mixes cost more; freight and delivery are often a major part of the landed price for bulk orders. For realistic supplier routes, direct bulk-yard suppliers and regional nursery/landscape distributors are the best fit, while pallet/truckload wholesale programs are usually the closest analog for high-volume custom-printed packouts.
