Topsoil is a good addition to use around your yard and landscaping to help in many different ways. Whether your yard's drainage needs supplementing or the condition of your soil is lacking, a delivery of screened and rich topsoil from a local landscape supplier is a good solution to many problems. Here are some ideas to help you boost the health and condition of your yard landscaping and vegetation.
Supplement For Your Garden
Your garden soil is an important element for growing vegetables or other garden plants, so if the soil is hard and contains a large amount of clay and rocks, it will not provide a good bed for you to grow vegetation. When your existing soil is void of nutrients, your plants will not grow and they will be nutrient deficient, making them yellow, scrawny, and not produce fruit or flowers.
Order enough topsoil so you can add in at least three or more inches to the existing garden site. When you place your order with the topsoil supplier, they can help you calculate your needs based on the dimension of your garden. You can also add in some bagged manure to the area to provide additional nutrients.
When the delivery truck arrives with your topsoil, ask them to dump it on your garden site unless they cannot get access to it; then you will need to move it onto the site with wheelbarrows. Spread it evenly and use a garden tiller to combine the topsoil in with the site's existing soil. Combine the soil together until you cannot tell the difference between the garden's existing soil and the topsoil you have added. While you till, pull out any large rocks that will get in the way of your gardening plants.
Topdress Your Lawn
Over time, your lawn is going to become uneven in its health and surface level due to conditions in the yard and activities through your landscaping. Lower spots in your lawn can make the terrain uneven and nutrient deficient spots can allow your lawn's health to decline and its appearance to look bad. However, you can topdress your lawn with a new layer of rich soil to fill in the uneven areas and restore some needed nutrients. If you notice areas of your lawn don't grow as well as the rest, this can be due to poor soil that needs to be supplemented with a new layer of a soil topdress.
It is helpful to order the topsoil you need for your lawn with an equal mixture of sand and loam and with some peat in the mix. Sprinkle this evenly over your existing lawn so it settles between the lawn plants. You don't need to spread a thick amount because this will smother out your lawn. Unless, of course, the patch of lawn is sunken or dying, in which case you can supplement more soil to level the area.
