This spring, many homeowners will grapple with the challenges of seasonal landscape maintenance. As warmer days arrive, old gardening projects resurface and the task of sprucing up outside spaces begins. Reestablishing the lushness of summertime lawns is a priority around this time of the year. Topsoil is an essential ingredient for restoring your lawn and for healthy springtime beds and vegetable gardens.

Topsoil promotes healthy plant growth and improves soil structure due to its extremely high mineral and plant nutrient content. Natural topsoil is excavated from the upper layer of pristine Greenfield sites or from former agricultural land and is the result of dynamic natural processes that have occurred in the soil over time. Manufactured topsoil is natural topsoil that has been enriched with organic materials like peat moss, composted leaves, aged rice hulls and lime.

Spring is the best time to overseed a lawn and topdressing with topsoil is the best way to prepare a lawn for overseeding. Whether you are overseeding an entire lawn or filling in patchy spots, high quality, fertile topsoil is the answer to your lawn renovation needs. Topsoil helps newly planted trees and shrubs develop a healthy root system and growth pattern, making it a necessary soil conditioner for new sods, for seed starting, or for newly planted trees and shrubs. It is invaluable for starting new lawns, providing an even surface and firm foundation for installing turf or for seeding. Topsoil is also used to revive ‘dead’ garden beds that have been eroded by seasonal changes.

Topsoil truly is the ideal, multi-purpose soil amendment. It improves the tilth and cultivability of soil, aids moisture retention and helps to eliminate weeds and soilborne diseases. Used equally in residential landscaping and commercial turfing projects, such as golf courses and sporting fields, topsoil is essential for safeguarding the long-term health and vibrancy of lawns and plants.
