Top soil
Hi all!
I am based in the Rep of Ireland, in Co. Kildare. Unfortunately, there are no gardening newsgroups in the ROI, so I am trying my luck here on the off chance someone might be able to help. How much can I expect to pay per truckload of good quality topsoil in the Kildare area? I have been quoted €200 (approx Stg£135), which seems quite expensive... or does it? TIA! Cat(h) |

Depends on the size of the truck! We paid £86 for an 8 Ton truckload. Beautiful stuff from a local horticultural supplier |

Cat(h) Probably about right - around £10 per tonne depending on distance and quality. Look for a guy who supplies local landscapers etc - he will offer a range of qualities like screened, unscreened, added grit and manure or mushroom compost possibly with some fertiliser for new borders. Other suppliers are just hauliers picking up what builders scrape off new sites which may or may not be worth having.
