Greenvale’s screened topsoil has been passed through a screen to remove larger stones, plant roots, weeds and other debris. Some smaller stones and other gritty content is retained however, as this helps ensure the product drains freely and has sufficient aeration to encourage vigorous plant growth. Our screened topsoil is an inexpensive, extremely versatile sifted dirt that is an effective filling material or sub-base for higher quality growing mediums in flowerbeds and borders. If you intend to use our screened top soil as a growing medium in its own right, the addition of nutrient rich organic matter would be necessary and bear in mind that some debris will be present that may not be suitable for certain types of plants or root vegetables. It’s ideally suited to use as a sub-base in general landscaping contexts in both domestic and commercial settings, however, and is the perfect levelling material where dips and hollows need to be filled.
Cheap screened topsoil is also suitable for use as an affordable sub-base for laying turf but as with you beds and borders, the introduction of nutrient-rich organic matter or pre-turfing conditioner would be advised in order to give your lawn the best possible start in life. We also offer pre-turfing soil, which provides the perfect blend of compost, sand and pre-turfing conditioner and is designed specifically for use as a sub-base for new lawns.
