What Is Topsoil?

When we say topsoil, we mean the top layer of soil in a garden, yard, or field. Many homeowners, business owners, and contractors require topsoil for their property and our delivery services gets you what you need. Topsoil is the most productive and important section of most soils, since it provides an added layer of nutrients to keep the yard looking good.

For the most part, the topsoil layer is where the nutrients get delivered to the plants and it is where the water is absorbed. Also, the topsoil is the area where the sunlight helps to aid in the growing process of the yard and lawn. And it is where the wildlife and microorganisms interact with the plants and lawn in different ways. Allowing for a healthy and natural growth.  

What is Topsoil Used for?

Topsoil can be an affordable way to improve your lawn or garden bed. There are different types of topsoil out there, so be sure you select the one best suited for your project. When you choose the good topsoil, it contains great nutrients for your plants and grass to survive. And it can help protect plants and seedlings in the early stages and even correct soil issues like improper pH levels if the topsoil contains certain ingredients, like limestone).

When there are nutrients in the topsoil it is often referred to as blended topsoil and tends to be more like a garden soil. Certain blended topsoil can help to improve soil drainage and thus keep the lawn healthier over a period of time. If you use a sandy-blend topsoil with organic matter mixed into the native soil, it also helps with the draining and allows the water to penetrate deeper into the soil. By doing so, there is stronger root development.

Applications

You can use topsoil or a compost topsoil blend for various in-ground applications. These applications include:

• New projects and groundbreaking, such as for new lawns, new garden beds or replacing a previously paved area.

• If an area was affected by soil erosion.

• As top-dressing damaged areas of lawns.

• Fill in bare spots, low spots, or heavily trafficked areas that are beaten down.

When applying topsoil, you typically lay it several inches deep. So depending on the square area, you may need a lot. Too little and it is too thin to work properly. Our topsoil delivery will promptly bring back exactly what you need.
