FAQ

What's the difference between garden soil and topsoil?

Garden soil is a ready-to-plant enriched blend for beds; topsoil is straight screened soil for lawns, grading, and leveling. If you are planting into it this season, garden soil saves you the amending step. If you are establishing grass or reshaping ground, screened topsoil is the right base — clean, even-textured, and easy to rake out. Plenty of spring projects use both, one for the beds and one for the lawn edges.
