Screened Topsoil

Screened topsoil is topsoil screened through a 5-10mm screen to remove lumps, clumps, and foreign materials. The topsoil is basically sifted through a mesh freeing it of big lumps and debris. This type of topsoil is an excellent choice if you're going to grow different plants, flowers, vegetables, or lay a lawn. Screened topsoil is usually pretty soft and mixes well with various fertilizers, compost, and potting soils. Screened topsoil is ideal for improving the soil quality in any given area. Worked into existing soil, screened topsoil improves its texture, friability, and water-retention properties. Adding compost, which is a blend of decomposed vegetation, to the screened topsoil adds valuable nutrients to deficient soil. The main benefit of this is that it allows for optimum water flow and distribution of essential nutrients and minerals. This product is kept under cover so it makes is easier to work with.

Unscreened Topsoil

Unscreened topsoil comes as is. It is simply soil that has been excavated from a site and is ideal to use for levelling or filling in low areas. Unscreened topsoil has not been broken down or sifted in any way and may contain roots, rocks, weeds, sticks, stones, wood chips, etc. Unscreened topsoil is a perfect base for a construction project.

We source our topsoil from reliable sources and predominately comes directly from farms around the Whanganui region. The soil is put through our screener to remove any unwanted debris.Ideal for grass seeding or toping up lawn areas, as well as for building up gardens.
