Our premium topsoil is screened to 5/8", with larger stones and sticks being removed. This allows a certain amount of small stone in the screened soil for body, but not enough to interfere with a comfortable lawn. The screening of our topsoil allows us to ensure that a loam-like consistency can be produced.
Loam is a classification of soil based on its texture and the terms topsoil and loam are interchangeable. Our topsoil/loam ranges from a pH of 6.0 to 6.8, which is the natural range here in southern Connecticut. We do not offer a standard test since we obtain it from different locations and blend it together; therefore the exact same test result will not be produced each time.
Topsoil is best used for landscaping, gardening and turfgrass needs. It is great for lawns, home gardens, athletics fields, vegetable gardening, planting beds and more. We have the quality topsoil product for you.
