BASIC SOIL PRODUCTS.

Stockpile Topsoil

Topsoil originating from a farm field or undeveloped land that has been stripped and stockpiled under dry conditions for re-use. Careful attention is taken to strip the topsoil to a depth of no more than 8 to 12 inches, ensuring that only the most fertile soil is obtained for further processing. Unscreened topsoil is our most economical product for various applications.

Primary Uses: Ideal for replacing topsoil in large open areas where it was previously removed; creating berms; re-contouring and re-grading land, and as a base for sod (grass).

Screened Topsoil

Topsoil from a stockpile that has been processed by "screening" through a 1/2" (12 mm) screen and marketed for use. This material is easy to work with since many soil clumps, rocks, roots, and unwanted debris over 1/2" (12 mm) in size have been removed. Depending on the soil’s characteristics, such as soil texture (% sand, % silt, and % clay), pH, and organic content, this screened product has a variety of uses. Our screened topsoil meets OPSS 802 (November 2010; formerly OPSS 570) specifications.

Primary Uses: Ideal for replacing topsoil around new construction projects, sidewalks, and boulevards; for building up-, leveling off- and preparing grade surfaces for new sod, and as a base for growing grass seed in commercial areas. In some cases, screened topsoil has been used to plant large trees and shrubs supplied by tree growers and garden centers.

2" Screened Topsoil

Topsoil from a stockpile that has been processed by "screening" through a 2" (50 mm) screen and marketed for use. This material is easier to use compared to stockpile topsoil since many soil clumps, rocks, roots, and unwanted debris over 2" (50 mm) in size have been removed.

Primary Uses: Ideal for replacing topsoil around new construction projects, and in large open areas where topsoil was previously removed; re-shaping and re-grading land; as a base for new grass cover.
