Tips for Using Topsoil Effectively

  • For New Lawns: Spread screened topsoil evenly before laying sod or planting grass seed.
  • For Raised Beds: Mix blended topsoil with compost or peat moss for the best results.
  • For Poor Soil: Improve drainage by incorporating leaf compost into existing topsoil.
  • For Lawn Repair: Use screened topsoil to fill in low spots and overseed for a thicker lawn.

Bulk Topsoil Information

Why Leaves?

Our topsoil is made using leaf compost as a key ingredient. The leaves help add necessary organic matter to our topsoil products.

Recycled Considerations

Due to the nature of recycled wood products, you may find some undesirable items in your topsoil such as glass chips, pieces of plastic and other assorted garbage. When the towns pick up leaves from the curb, they also may pick up some litter from the streets.
