Well I asked about topsoil a while ago and now I'm actually doing
something about it. Spent the morning digging over what we've got and
it's not too bad but we need more soil to make up the height.

What are the different types of topsoil. I've got quotes ranging from
£47 to £200 for the same amount of soil and am not sure what sort to go
for. What type of topsoil would the group recommend for a good lawn?

Where abouts are you?

We had a few tonne of topsoil from British Soil Ltd in Wenvoe

They are very knowledgeable. The guy who delivered spent quite some time
wandering around the garden and gave us lots of helpful advice. We also
had our turf from them 5 years ago, it came with a 1 year weed free
guarantee and we've hardly seen a weed in the 5 years its been laid!
Certainly worth giving them a ring and explain what you're looking to
achieve from your soil, you'll advise on the best type for your needs.

Good luck

Location may be an issue. My daughter living in Greenwich bought a lot of
topsoil that I think had come from an industrial site. Establish the
source.
