What Is Topsoil?
Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil — typically the top 10–30cm — and is the most biologically active and nutrient-rich part of the ground. It provides the growing medium that plants, grass, and trees rely on for healthy root development. Quality topsoil is essential for laying new lawns, raising garden beds, levelling uneven ground, and improving poor or compacted soil.
