Top Soil and Soil Improvers
Topsoil, Turf, Soil Improvers and Bark
In the world of grow your own gardening, although it's probably accurate to describe building your raised beds as the hard work, filling them with a suitable medium in which healthy vegetables and herbs can grow is by far the most important task. After spending all that time and effort in carefully planning and constructing the beds, it seems churlish to baulk at the chance of providing your vegetable plants with the highest quality topsoil available - a service we can offer courtesy of Rolawn, long recognised as the country's leading supplier of turf and topsoil.

We're delighted to offer you four grades of excellent soil; the Vegetable and Fruit Topsoil should go a long way to helping you keep the family - and friends - in vegetables; Blended Loam Topsoil for all your landscaping projects, beds and borders; the Soil Improver, ideal for mulching and adding to existing soil in need of an organic matter infusion and a real garden work-horse of a growing medium in the shape of the Multi-Purpose Compost - what can’t you use it for would be a shorter summary! Throw in the very popular Strulch, rapidly making a name for itself in gardening circles, traditional New Horizon growbags - real greenhouse stalwarts - and even soil provided by the helping, erm, hands of sheep, worms and 420 million years of history and we can stake a very good claim to be your single-stop-soil-shop!

But don’t think our range is limited to soil! Lawn lovers will be able to create that Centre Court or putting/bowling green finish they’ve always dreamed of with the premium quality Rolawn turf varieties we stock – and when it actually comes to laying turf or even growing your lawn from seed, the Turf and Lawn Seeding Topsoil fits the bill nicely. Established lawns need not feel left out; we’ve a sand/clay/silt Lawn Topdressing mix for to turn both your lawn and neighbours green (the latter with envy) and if you’re planning a landscaping project, you'd be barking mad to miss out on the two grades of Rolawn bark we have available!

We can even offer you advice on soil and compost via our Master Composter Martin Fiddes - contact him by e-mail with your soil-related questions and queries.
