One, it depends on how well the loom is screened, the finer the screening, the more expensive it is, 1/4 screened orlower you will pay the most, but you could get like 3/8 screen or 1/2 inch screened and you will hjave a lot of twigs, and rocks, so smaller the screening the less rocks and chuncks of things, and twigs you have to deal with. Also depending on what you are using it for you would want the lower screened amount, for example if filling in, who care how it was screened, planting flowers a lawn or rasing up a flower bed or lawn or filling in around a pool or something you would want to have a finer screen to have h ealthier soil with little to no rocks and twigs
The other reason is that it might be in the way back of the forest area and the guy has to still dig it out and bring it to you.
