Topsoil & subsoil

Topsoil, collected or delivered.

Clean, screened topsoil to BS 3882 and subsoil to BS 8601, supplied by the tonne. Collect it yourself from our Tonbridge yard, or we deliver it straight to site across Kent and South East London. For gardens, lawns, new turf and landscaping of every size.

Screened topsoil and subsoil, by the tonne

Topsoil is the top layer of soil, the dark, crumbly stuff full of the organic matter and nutrients that plants need. It is what you spread for new flower beds, what you level a garden with, and what you lay turf on. Ours is screened to BS 3882, so it comes out clean and free of stones, roots and rubble, ready to use the moment it lands. For deeper builds and bulk filling, we also supply subsoil to BS 8601, the firmer layer that sits beneath the topsoil.

You have two easy ways to get it. Drive into our Tonbridge yard and collect what you need, from a few barrow loads to a full van, or let us deliver it by the tonne to your door. Either way you get a straight price up front, with no guessing. Not sure how much you need? Work out the tonnage in seconds on our topsoil calculator, then give us a call.

Why choose our topsoil & subsoil?

Screened clean

Every load is graded to BS 3882, sieved free of stones, roots and debris, so it spreads easily and gives roots a fertile, even base.

Topsoil and subsoil

Rich topsoil for beds, lawns and turf, plus BS 8601 subsoil for deeper fills and ground build-up. One yard for both.

Collect or delivered

Pick it up from our Tonbridge yard or have it tipped on site by the tonne. Small garden orders or full bulk loads, both welcome.

Our topsoil is produced at our own licensed yard in Tonbridge.

It keeps good ground out of landfill, keeps your costs down, and gives you a quality material you can trust, all from one local supplier.

Good to know

Topsoil and subsoil, common questions

What topsoil do you supply?

We supply screened topsoil to BS 3882, sold by the tonne. It is screened at our Tonbridge yard to take out stones and debris, so it spreads cleanly and is ready to use. We also supply subsoil for building up levels under a topsoil layer.

What does BS 3882 topsoil mean?

BS 3882 is the British Standard for topsoil, so you know what you are getting is a proper graded soil and not just spoil. Our screened topsoil meets that standard. It suits lawns, beds and general landscaping where you want soil that performs well.

Can I collect topsoil or do you deliver?

Either works. You can collect from our Tonbridge yard, or we can deliver topsoil and subsoil by the tonne on our own lorries. Tell us how much you need and a postcode, and we will sort delivery or have your order ready for collection.

What jobs is your topsoil good for?

Our screened topsoil suits new lawns, flower and vegetable beds, raised borders and general garden landscaping. Because it is screened it is free of large stones and debris, so it levels and rakes out easily. The subsoil is better for building up ground levels first.

How do I order topsoil or subsoil?
