Topsoil in Pendlebury

Topsoil moves in volume around Pendlebury because so many gardens here need building up. The made ground on the old colliery and power station land at Agecroft leaves borders thin and stony, and a lot of the newer estates near Clifton were laid over builders rubble, so a fresh depth of soil is the first job before planting or turfing. We do one grade: screened topsoil at £70 a bulk bag, riddled clean so it rakes out easily, and it handles the levelling as well as the beds and lawns.

For the terraces off Bolton Road with no drive, bulk bags get dropped kerbside and you barrow the soil through in stages. Where there is room on a Wardley or Lark Hill drive the bag goes straight on it. Each bag holds about 0.7 m3 and covers roughly 7 m2 at 100mm deep. If shifting it is the problem, ask about having the topsoil spread for you when you order, so it lands where you want it.

We deliver across Pendlebury and the surrounding area: Agecroft, Clifton, Wardley, Lark Hill and beyond (M27).

As a rule a bulk bag of about 0.7 m3 covers roughly 7 m2 at 100mm deep, which is the usual depth for a new lawn. The calculator on the site works it out from your measurements, or send the length and width and we will tell you how many bags to order.

Yes. For borders and lawns over made ground, screened topsoil is what you want, clean and stone-free so it rakes out easily. Put a proper 100mm depth down over the rubble and both turf and planting will get their roots in.
