Which topsoil do I need? Whether you should choose screened or unscreened topsoil will depend on how you are going to be using it.

Topsoil is screened through a process whereby the soil passes through a mesh sieve which removes large stones and unwanted material. It will be loose and evenly sized to give you excellent drainage, as well as allowing nutrients and water to flow naturally through the soil enhancing the growth of your plants.

Additionally, it can save you from extra work as the unwanted weeds will have been removed.

Unscreened Topsoil – Used mainly for general landscaping. If you are looking to repair your lawn, fill in holes or dips then the unscreened soil will be a sufficient and an affordable solution. This topsoil comes without having been broken down into fine particles, or had any large items removed from it so it is a mixture of small and large soil particles. This soil is well-suited as a base for creating a garden or for construction projects. It can also be used in raised beds once a top layer of screened topsoil is added.
