Topsoil

Looking for lush, green grass and stunning, flowers in bloom? Landscaping Victoria BC has the knowledge to give you the green oasis you’ve always wanted.

And grass isn’t all we do, either. If thriving, colourful plants and flowers are something you’ve always dreamed of, we’ll make that happen, too.

If green, green grass is the key to your ultimate garden oasis, we know that the best place to start is with your topsoil.

What Is Topsoil?

Topsoil is composed of a natural blend of

• bark or other mulch,
• matter from animals,
• fallen leaves,
• composted matter, and
• other organic materials.

Why Does Topsoil Matter So Much?

Topsoil contains all the nutrients that are vital for growing anything — grass, plants, flowers, trees, you name it.

Topsoil is just that — the top of the soil, and it’s the first 2-8 inches of the soil that truly matters. It’s loaded with the richest nutrients needed for successful growing.

Which Topsoil Blend Is Best?

The experts at Landscaping Victoria BC have all the landscaping supplies necessary to assess the soil you already have in your yard. We know which blends you’ll need to make your garden thrive.

The blend we choose depends on a number of factors including

• what you’re looking to grow;
• the natural vegetation already in your yard; and
• the weather conditions in your area, which can alter your topsoil.

Topsoil blends vary, and some are better for gardens and others for lawns.

What Makes Up Healthy Topsoil?

There are a few things that make up healthy topsoil including

• magnesium,
• potassium,
• PH levels,
• lime compounds, and
• sulphur.

Why Wouldn’t My Topsoil Be Healthy?

There are many factors which can alter your topsoil and make it less effective for growing:

• weather conditions in your area;
• quality nutrients stripped during construction and other projects; and
• chemicals and pesticides, among others.

Your topsoil can be conditioned by adding a soil amendment or other mulch.

Some of these amendments include

• lime to decrease acidity,
• fertilizers and other needed nutrients like compost or manure,
• bark or other mulch materials for retaining water,
• clay or other similar materials to assist the roots to grow successfully, and
• gypsum to release nutrients.

On occasion, though, it’s necessary to bring in all new topsoil.

Once we know what we’re working with and what you want, our team at Landscaping Victoria BC can adjust your soil, or bring in new topsoil, for the entire area you want to develop.

And don’t worry — we’ll facilitate the delivery of your topsoil. Just leave it to us!
