Topsoil for laying turf on

We recommend laying turf on a 10-15cm layer of topsoil for it to grow successfully. If your plot doesn’t have enough then our screened topsoil is the ideal material to put down.   It can be mixed with your existing soil or just added on top. We can calculate how much soil you would need from your measurements and give you a quote – just call or email us to ask.

Topsoil for planting beds

You might want to add some compost or other specific nutrients if you plan to grow something particular when using it for beds. All our batches of soil have been tested so we can let you have that information: nutrient levels, pH, etc.

Delivery – loose topsoil

Our screened topsoil is delivered loose and tipped in quantities from 2 tons upwards. Our small tipper lorry carries up to 7 tons. Larger quantities can be delivered on 6- or 8-wheeler lorries which carry 16 and 20 tons respectively.

Bagged topsoil

We can supply bagged soil on request, that’s approximately 800kg. Give us a call if you’d like more information.

About our topsoil

We operate an Environmental Permit at our site just near to J30 of the M5 for handling locally sourced topsoil. Topsoil that is to be moved must have contaminant tests done on multiple samples. These tests enable us to establish if it is suitable for residential use before we accept it. But crucially we only handle material that is low clay-content, nutritious and easy to handle and our customers want to come back for all their projects.

We’ll then screen the soil at our site and test samples against BS 3882:2015. This standard gives information about nutrients, structure, pH, etc in a handy one-page format that we can send out on request.  You can also chat with us about the characteristics of the soil and get a free sample.

We supply quality turf all year round. If you would like any further advice on lawn care or would like to talk to us about your order, please contact us on 01392 231040 or email sales@wesellturf.com
