What is Topsoil?
Topsoil is the upper layer of soil, usually found to be between 2-8 inches which contains a majority of the ground’s nutrients and fertility.
The Topsoil is formed by the slow weathering of rocks and decaying organic matter over thousands of years, which subsequently results in the Topsoil containing a large amount of organic nutrients and minerals which supports life and growth.
Topsoil typically comes available in four grades: screened, economy, general-purpose and premium, based on the amount of organic matter and nutrients within the soil.
Topsoil Benefits
Unfortunately many gardens have poor-quality soil resulting from the soil becoming contaminated or stripped away during construction processes, especially prevalent in new builds.
Topsoil is the primary resource for plants to grow and crops to thrive, owing largely to its carbon and nitrogen components. The nitrogen provides topsoil with energy, while the carbon acts as a tissue builder.
Topsoil provides plants with the basic fundamentals in order to survive; water, air and food. The three elements together, create a perfect environment for all plants to flourish in their natural habitat.
Making sure you have healthy and great-quality topsoil will do wonders for your overall landscape.

Topsoil can be used for several different garden and landscaping applications, including the creation of raised beds and borders, or to provide a base for laying new turf or sowing grass seed.
Topsoil is also useful for drainage, adding depth to shallow areas of land or to level out uneven surfaces of your lawn.

The two main categories for topsoil are screened or unscreened.
Screened Topsoil is sifted resulting in a softer, finer soil free from larger chunks and lumps. This increases the equal distribution of nutrients and minerals and allows for more effective drainage.
Alternatively, unscreened topsoil has not been sifted so it can contain material such as stones, rocks, and roots.

Just add 2 inches of topsoil over a thin area of grass and level it out, and the grass will grow through the new soil.
Topsoil also provides a great base when turfing or sewing seeds. By spreading a 1-inch layer, raking through the seeds and watering daily, you won’t have to wait long until you start to see new grass starting to sprout.
