Premium Topsoil- This is the growing material needed for lawn areas, vegetable garden, flower gardens and landscape beds for tree/shrubs. Topsoil typically is available in (2) grades;
1. 50/50 topsoil, which is one part loamy soil mixed with one part sand. This topsoil type is less expensive and is suitable for areas that have adequate soil drainage.
2. 3 way topsoil, which is one part loamy soil, one part compost, one part sand. This topsoil type is more expensive and is suitable for areas with poor drainage as well as vegetable/flower gardens.
Fill material- This is less expensive dirt material that is commonly used to cost effectively fill in low spots in your yard. Grass typically grows poorly in fill, so topsoil is installed on top for a growing medium. Some suppliers offer less expensive unscreened fill that will contain larger rocks and screened fill which usually does not contain larger rocks.
Compost- For areas with poor drainage, including garden beds and lawn areas that have a lot of moss, we recommend improving the soil with compost, which will improve drainage. The most commonly available and least expensive compost will be horse/steer composted manure. Vegetable compost is the more expensive and is more difficult to source.
