Topsoil is the upper, outermost layer of soil, usually the top 5.1 cm to 20 cm. It has the highest concentration of organic matter and microorganisms and is where most of the Earth’s biological soil activity occurs.

Screened topsoil is perfect for the new lawn. Mix your own fetiliser in to make it truly organic. Great for under turf.

The Screening Process
What is Screened Topsoil? Screened topsoil is the same soil as unscreened, but it has been sifted or screened to remove clumps, rocks, roots, sticks and other debris that may have been in it. Screened topsoil is great for gardening because it mixes easily with potting soils, compost and fertilizer, and is generally loose and easy to amend for drainage gardening, lawn preparation, flower pots and planters, and as a walkway base are ideal uses for screened topsoil. You wouldn’t want unscreened for these uses because of the clumps, sticks and even weeds that may be in the soil
