Topsoil in Stretford

Soil under Stretford gardens is rarely much to shout about. The Victorian terraces around Old Trafford and Gorse Hill sit on decades of compacted clay and old builders ash, so new raised beds or a fresh lawn want a good depth of proper garden soil over the top. Our screened topsoil, £70 a bulk bag, rakes out clean for seeding and returfing, and the same soil does the donkey work where you are building levels up.

The inter-war semis in Firswood and Lostock usually have bigger borders and lawns, so people take a few bulk bags at once. If a terrace has no drive we set the bag down kerbside at the nearest safe spot and you barrow it in. There is a delivered and spread option too, so you are not shifting it all by hand.

We deliver across Stretford and the surrounding area: Old Trafford, Firswood, Gorse Hill, Lostock, Longford and beyond (M32).

For a new lawn or returfing, work on about 100mm of screened topsoil over the prepared ground. One bulk bag, roughly 0.7 m³, covers around 7 square metres at that depth. Put your measurements into our calculator or ring us and we will tell you how many bags for your Stretford garden.

Yes. Plenty of the terraced streets around Longford and Gorse Hill have no drive, so we set the bulk bag of topsoil down kerbside at the nearest safe spot and you barrow it through the ginnel or the house. Tell us the access when you order and we will plan around it.
