What is Screened Topsoil

Topsoil is the upper layer of soil, packed with nutrients and minerals to help create a vibrant garden and a healthy site with good drainage.
Screened topsoil is a specific type of multi-purpose locally sourced topsoil that is screened accurately to 10mm. The topsoil is peat-free and has some of the finest property for efficiently growing most types of outdoor plants in the UK. If you’re looking to drastically improve the aesthetics of the front or back by creating a stunning garden, then the first point of call is using an efficient soil. Wilsons Groundworks strongly recommend the use of screened topsoil to kick off your gardening project. As previously mentioned, screened topsoil is multipurpose, therefore, it will have many purposes for your property and work efficiently as the base of your new garden.
Our topsoil is graded using advanced technology that passes the soil through screens to ensure that any debris or large stones are removed. This ensures that the soil is healthy and living to successfully grow plants. To efficiently grow plants, the soil used has to be sourced and graded correctly to ensure the correct moisture, texture, and density. By purchasing topsoil from Wilsons Groundworks, you can be assured your garden will grow efficiently.

Why Use Screened Topsoil?

Screened topsoil is used as a clean, uniform base for planting, ensuring healthy root growth and good drainage. Removing debris in the soil, such as stones, sticks and roots, the screened topsoil will promote better water flow, distribution of nutrients, and it can reduce the risk of weed growth.
What’s more, as the screened topsoil is more uniform in size, it is easier to spread around and work with, whether you’re planting seeds, creating flower beds or installing lawn.

What’s The Difference Between Screened Topsoil & Regular Topsoil?

As screened topsoil is the top layer of ground that has been put through a screening process, larger debris, such as rocks, stones, clumps of clay, roots and other organic matter, is removed, resulting in a finely textured and easy-to-work soil that is ideal for a variety of users.
Regular topsoil, or unscreened topsoil, is not processed and is in its natural state. Therefore, it contains all elements typically removed in the screening process. It may be cheaper and is suitable for some projects; however, it is inconsistent in texture, has poor drainage and the potential for weeds to sprout once the ground is watered. Unscreened topsoil is suitable for projects where quality and texture are not the primary concern, such as filling in large holes or creating a sub-base in a large-scale landscaping project.
Essentially, screened topsoil is a superior product, providing a clean, nutrient-rich and consistent foundation for a garden.
