Why Quality Top Soil Matters

Blog

Whether you're planting a new garden or you're putting sod or grass seed in new areas of your yard, the quality of your top soil matters. You want the top toil to be able to hold moisture while still containing lots of natural ingredients that plant life can thrive with. Furthermore, you want to ensure you use a quality top soil provider since the best soil usually comes from reputable companies. 

Since quality top soil matters,  it's worth it to invest in the best product possible. Here's why.

1. Your plant life has a greater chance of growth

When you invest in your top soil, you further invest in your plant life. The top soil used to plant sod, garden shrubbery, flowers, and fruits and vegetables will determine how well plants are able to access water and nutrition. Healthy top soil keeps nutrition in the dirt where it belongs so plants can thrive.

A top soil provider will show you how much top soil you need in your yard based on the type of landscaping project you have. The more ground cover you need, the more top soil you will have to buy.

2. Your soil gets nutrition based on its needs

Top soil is the most nutrition-rich soil your plants need. The several inches of ground your top soil covers will be what determines how healthy your plants are. If you have particularly loamy soil or super dry soil, you'll need a top soil to provide the extra nutrients your ground doesn't already have. Quality top soil will have all the nutrition your plants need.

A skilled top soil provider will be able to provide you with the best top soil for your needs based on the type of soil you have. The moisture level, dryness factor, or even purpose of the soil in your yard will determine what top soil type will work best, but a general rule is that all planted areas benefit from at least a thin layer of top soil to give plant life extra nutrition.

3. Your soil is reinforced for next years' production

What makes quality top soil great is that it doesn't just help your plants thrive this year, it helps keep the ground healthy for further planting in the future. Gardens that have to be planted every year will benefit from top soil mixed in with surface dirt to help keep the soil prepped for yearly planting. Always prepare top soil as recommended by its bag and continue to feed and water your plants regularly for optimum growth.

Beautiful Landscaping Can Transform the Look of Any Home

When my husband and I bought our house years ago, we thought it would be our "starter" home and we would move in a few years. We soon had two children, and we then decided against moving since we live in a great school district and we love our neighbors. However, I was growing very tired of the appearance of our home. We painted it a different color, and it still seemed like the "same old house" that we were tired of. We finally deciding that maybe good landscaping would "do the trick" and make our home more enjoyable to use again. We were right, and I now love our home! I now love spending time in our yard and just enjoying the scenery. I have such a passion for landscaping now I decided to create a blog about it. I plan to share many landscaping tips, so come back!
