A premium screened turf topsoil that provides the perfect foundation for laying new turf or grass seed. Carefully sourced and screened to 10mm, it delivers consistent workability, excellent drainage, and a nutrient-filled base for turf roots to grow and thrive. Whether laying new turf or repairing an old lawn, turf topsoil is the secret ingredient!
All bagged products purchased without turf will be delivered as a PM delivery unless we have confirmed otherwise. This is to ensure that turf and similar products are sent out on our first deliveries to maintain freshness.
Topsoil is essential for successful lawns because it’s the growing layer of soil where grass roots anchor in and create strong root systems to source key nutrients. Laying turf onto poor, compacted or uneven ground can lead to weak root establishment, drainage issues, and a poor-performing lawn! By installing a fresh layer of turf-specific topsoil before turfing, you give your lawn the best possible start.
Whether you’re repairing or relaying a family lawn or completing a professional landscaping project, our turf topsoil offers consistency and reliability you can trust. Landscapers value its easy handling and guaranteed performance, while homeowners benefit from a simpler installation process and better long-term results.
Ordering your turf topsoil at the same time as your fresh turf also ensures:

Yes! If you’re ordering turf and turf topsoil together, we’ll ensure they’re delivered together to keep your project on track. If you’re ordering turf topsoil separately, this will be allocated to an afternoon delivery.

The weight of a bulk bag can fluctuate between 0.9 and 1.1 metric tonnes, approximately averaging 1 metric tonne. This variation is attributed to soil moisture, which can change with the season.
Tools you need
Follow these 3 steps for a smooth, effective application of turf topsoil that will help your fresh turf settle in and allow the roots to anchor faster.
Ensure the ground is fully prepared: remove existing turf, weeds, and debris.
Shovel your turf topsoil from the GDT&S bulk bags into a wheelbarrow and move to your turfing area. Use a shovel to place piles of topsoil across the area.
Use a rake to spread the turf topsoil evenly across the area. With appropriate footwear, stand on the topsoil and gently press down to firm it into place. We call this the ‘gardeners’ shuffle’, where you work your way across the topsoil to compress it. Rake over the area and repeat the ‘shuffle’ until all gaps and hollows are filled and you have even coverage.
You’re now in the best position to lay your fresh turf!
