Amateur garden enthusiasts and professional landscapers know the value of good quality top soil in Lydiate. Apart from sunlight and adequate water, topsoil is the prime requirement for the growth of any plant life. Whether you’re putting down a new lawn or garden, providing health and nutrition to your sports-grounds, or golf-course, or looking for more yield from your vegetable or herb patch, DPM Topsoil has the right solution for you. Different depths of top soil are required for different types of plant growth. Our experienced, knowledgeable team can help you with this. For instance, shallow rooting plants like salad greens, herbs, onion, potato, radish etc need about 12-18 inches of top soil. Medium rooting systems like pole beans, carrots, cucumber, eggplants, kale, turnip etc need about 18-24 inches. Deep rooting plants like artichoke, asparagus, tomato, watermelon etc need at least 24-36 inches of top soil to thrive and give good produce. In terms of composition, premium top soil should have about 50% solid matter like sand, loam and clay,  with 10% organic compost, 20% air and 20% water. It should be free of weeds and stray root-systems.

This makes the soil extremely free draining, while encouraging organic matter to decompose very fast. Though this may not be the ideal surface for plant growth, some of the most fertile agricultural land in the UK is on chalky soil. This is achieved by ensuring the right pH balance with the addition of top-quality top soil.
