Topsoil in Irlam

Screened topsoil at £70 a bulk bag, delivered across Irlam. On the new-build plots around Fairhills and the old steelworks, a proper depth of topsoil over broken-up ground is what stops a new lawn failing by summer.

Plenty of Irlam gardens near the mosses have soft, peaty soil that needs building up or capping with better material. One screened soil does all of it: building up levels, evening out the lumps ready for a new lawn, and filling raised beds in a Cadishead yard. Bags are dropped kerbside or on the drive.

We deliver across Irlam and the surrounding area: Cadishead, Higher Irlam, Fairhills and beyond (M44).

A bulk bag is about 0.7 cubic metres. A small garden being levelled at 100mm might take one or two bags, a full new lawn bed more. Use the coverage calculator or send your measurements and we will confirm the amount.

Yes. We drop bulk bags on the drive or kerbside, and the spreading and levelling can be sorted for you too, just ask when you order. That suits the bigger sloping gardens up towards Higher Irlam where shifting bag after bag by hand is hard work.

Screened topsoil is passed through a mesh that removes stones, root and lumps, so it is clean and easy to work, and it is the right choice for lawns, beds and anything you are planting into. Unscreened topsoil is cheaper but full of whatever came off site, and it is not a seed bed. Ours is screened, so what arrives is ready to use.

Yes. A clean screened topsoil laid at around 100mm is exactly what turf wants to root into. Rake it to a fine, level finish and firm it before the turf goes down. If the ground underneath is heavy clay or rubble, going a touch deeper helps drainage and root run.
