Topsoil in Walkden

The new-build estates out towards Ellenbrook are the classic case for topsoil in Walkden. Developers skim off the good soil and what is left is thin ground over builders rubble, so beds and lawns struggle. A bulk bag or two of screened topsoil, at £70 a bulk bag, gives you a clean, stone-free depth to plant and seed into.

For bigger jobs like levelling a garden or filling raised beds on the Little Hulton semis, the same screened soil does the lot, it just takes more bags. One bag is roughly 0.7 cubic metres and covers around 7 square metres at 100mm deep. We can drop it kerbside, or where there is access you can have it delivered and spread for you.

We deliver across Walkden and the surrounding area: Little Hulton, Ellenbrook, Wharton, Walkden Central and beyond (M28).

For planting and lawns over rubbly new-build ground, our screened topsoil is the right stuff. It is sieved so there are no stones or lumps, and a bulk bag covers around 7m2 at 100mm deep, which is the depth a new lawn wants. The same soil handles the filling and levelling underneath, so one product covers the whole job.

We deliver kerbside to the nearest safe spot, usually the pavement or road outside. For terraces near the centre with no drive, tell us the setup when you order. If barrowing it round the back is not on, ask about the delivered-and-spread option and the shifting gets done for you.

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.
