Default Recommendations for topsoil supplier in/near Bristol?


"Phil" wrote in message

I'm looking for 8 cubic metres / 12 tonnes of topsoil to bring up a
level to create a lawned area - bagged or lorryload - any personal
recommendations? Base is sandstone/clay and stony!

Cheers,

Phil.

Topsoil is really a generic term for anything that looks like muck .
Bagged material is considerably more expensive than bulk lorryloads.
I would ask for screened material which means the rocks, Coke cans, etc etc.
should be absent.
The website at Rowlan explains the different type of topsoils.

(about £500) for your requirements.
I have never used their topsoil but can vouch for the turf quality.
