Why is Topsoil so Special? A Look at the Stats

Top Soil is more than just black dirt; it’s the foundation for plant growth, healthy lawns, and successful landscaping endeavors. Top Soil is the naturally occurring, nutrient-rich upper layer. Here’s what makes it so unique:

• Nutrients: Top Soil boasts a wealth of organic matter and decomposed plant and animal material, which is a natural slow-release fertilizer for plants. Studies have shown that organic matter holds 18-20 times its weight in water emphasizing its role in keeping soil moist and improving drought tolerance for plants.

• Water Retention: Top Soil’s porous structure allows for excellent water retention. This means your plants can access the moisture they need to thrive, even during dry spells. Top Soil can hold up to 40% of its weight in water, significantly reducing the need for frequent watering [Source:https://extension.sdstate.edu/how-soil-holds-water ].
• Reduces Erosion: Top Soil acts as a natural barrier against soil erosion caused by wind and rain. Healthy Top Soil with an excellent vegetative cover can significantly reduce erosion compared to bare soil.

Top Soil: Applications for Every Project

Top Soil can breathe new life into any landscaping project. Its rich nutrient content and ideal structure create the foundation for flourishing plant growth.

• Creating Raised Garden Beds: Building raised garden beds? Filling them with high-quality Top Soil ensures your plants have access to the vital nutrients they need to flourish.
