Have it blown in. You can hire a company (if there is one around you) that has large blower trucks where they just run a large diameter hose to where it is needed and the material is literally blown in place. They use them for mulch and to blow green roof media to the top of the roof so no crane is needed for the large hopper bags or the need to bring 8 million plastic bags up an elevator and then up stairs.

Soil is generally not a problem for these things if it has been screened. And you can get proper soil instead of the expense of lightweight materials. Here is a video from one of the manufacturers of the equipment. Look online or in the phone book for mulch or gravel companies/haulers, as they are generally the ones with this type of equipment (they also come in trailer form).
