Ground can shift through deep frost and breakup, so a planting area should be laid out after drainage and grade have been considered. Top Soil belongs at the finished surface of a planned lawn, garden, or planted border. This screened growing material has a smooth, consistent texture that is easy to handle during landscape work.
Use this material for establishing new landscape areas or improving soil in existing planted spaces. On ground affected by seasonal movement, do not treat the growing layer as a correction for low spots or wet conditions. Shape the area for its intended drainage, then spread and grade Top Soil before planting. That placement order helps keep the finished surface workable as the ground settles.

Common Uses
Starting & Repairing Lawns
For new sod, patchy turf, and low areas in the yard, topsoil helps prepare the surface. Spread a 2-4 inch layer to give grass roots room to establish and produce a full green lawn.
Raised Beds & Garden Plots
For raised planters and garden plots, screened topsoil provides a workable fill for herbs, flowers, and vegetables. The material is easy to shape and gives developing roots space to grow.
Grading & Leveling
Bring low spots up, soften uneven ground, and shape drainage away from foundations and structures. Topsoil can be lightly compacted while remaining permeable to water.
Tree & Shrub Planting
Blend topsoil into native ground when setting trees and shrubs. This improves the soil's texture and helps new plantings settle in through their early growth stage.
Why Choose Top Soil
Planting Base
Topsoil creates a structured planting layer for lawns, garden areas, and ornamental beds. It gives new roots a workable place to establish as plants begin growing.
Screened Topsoil
Rocks, roots, and debris are removed through mechanical screening. This leaves an even-textured material that spreads smoothly and is easier to handle.
Many Uses
Topsoil can be used for home gardens, larger job sites, lawns, planting areas, and finish grading. Choose the application based on the plants and site conditions.
Bulk Coverage
Bulk topsoil is an alternative to bagged material when covering larger spaces. It can be delivered to your property for spreading where it is needed.
