If you are looking to redesign the landscape of your garden, or plant a fresh, healthy lawn, or even just develop a garden that you are already pleased with, then you may well find that you don’t have access to enough topsoil, potting soil, or mulch for your plants from hardware stores near your home, even those that offer delivery. The alternative option is to buy topsoils in bulk, which can be an intimidating prospect if you have no previous experience of ordering garden soil for delivery to your home.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, we have put together a guide (rights reserved) to ordering topsoil products in bulk for your home, covering every aspect of the process, from working out how much soil you need, what it will cost you, and what type of garden soil you will want to order for delivery, to the process of placing the call or email that will lock in your topsoil delivery order. Below, you will find everything you need to know<\/a> about ordering topsoil in bulk for home delivery!<\/p>\n There are three main types of garden soil products that you are likely to want for your home or garden project. These are soil, mulch, and compost. Let us take a look at all of these and what the difference between them is. Topsoil is the term usually used to refer to the top 2 inches or so of soil on the ground.<\/p>\n Generally, this is relatively poor quality soil and does not contain much in the way of nutrients for your plants. Topsoil is usually used to provide a top surface of soil for your plant bed, or mixed with fertilizers or other organic products to provide soil with more nutrients.<\/p>\n Mulch is a catch all term for shredded organic materials like straw, sawdust, wood chips, or bark chippings. It primarily works to block the growth of unwanted plants such as weeds, as well as keeping moisture trapped and providing an attractive looking surface layer.<\/p>\n Compost is a nutrient-rich substrate made from decayed organic materials and is often combined with topsoil or potting soil to create an enriched soil with more valuable nutrients for your garden in it.<\/p>\n The best option will always be to find a supplier of topsoil in your local area that offers delivery. A quick google search for “topsoil near me” is a great way to get started, and once you have found a nearby vendor who offers bulk topsoil for delivery, please call or email your chosen vendor to discuss delivery. If you already know a good garden center you can trust, then the “topsoils near me” search won’t be necessary, but you will still want to get some advice from them.<\/p>\n Once again, please call or email your local garden center to get any further delivery information you need before you make a delivery. Most garden centers will be very happy to offer you all the help and advice you need, so making a call should always be one of your first steps in order to get a recommendation for an excellent topsoil product or other soil products that will please you.<\/p>\n It is always worth taking a look at the topsoil products you are considering before you spend the money to order a bulk delivery. There are likely to be several different blends available from most outlets, so please take your time to consider your options, even if it may not seem like something you need to do at first. Soil is more important than you might think!<\/p>\n What you are looking for is loose, crumbly, dark-colored soil with a little moisture to it, and not much smell other than a clean, earthy odor. You may be able to get a professional soil analysis done, but this can be expensive, so getting to touch and inspecting the soil before you buy may well be your best option.<\/p>\n When trying to choose the right topsoil, there are a number of features you will want to keep an eye out for. Let’s take a look at some of the most important ones. First, you will want to make sure that the pH of the topsoil is somewhere between 5.5 and 7.5, so neutral to alkaline. This information should be listed, but if it isn’t, then you will have to perform a pH test yourself.<\/p>\n You will also want to know about the organic content of the soil. How much compost is in it? What was that compost made from? If it is a manure-based compost, that will add a lot of nitrogen to the soil, which is better suited to some plants than others, while leaf litter based compost is neutral.<\/p>\n Has your topsoil been screened? Screening is an important process that is used to remove rocks, clumps of clay, and anything else that might cause problems and blockages in your soil.<\/p>\n In general, topsoil, mulch, and compost are all sold by the cubic yard. You will need to work out how many cubic yards of soil you need before ordering delivery to make sure you order the right amount. First, measure the area or square footage of the garden that you want to cover<\/a> with topsoil. Multiply the length by the width to get this.<\/p>\nTypes of Garden Topsoil<\/h3>\n
