Our Enriched Topsoil is fortified topsoil, which is produced from a blend of deep dug native soil and our high quality Premium Compost.
This special blend creates the perfect multi-purpose topsoil with a wonderful dark rich color. Screened to a one half-inch sieve size to ensure a consistent and stone free product that is easy to handle and grade.
Enriched Topsoil is an excellent choice for both the construction of new lawns and renovation of established lawns. It is a great all around product that can be used for topdressing lawns, planting shrubs, building berms or raised beds, and many other landscape applications.
Enriched Topsoil can be applied at varying depths over existing soil for the establishment of new turf areas and planting beds.
The LVS Advantage
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits to our customers is that our Enriched Topsoil is screened directly into our large storage shed were it is stockpiled safely out of the elements. This ensures that no matter what Mother Nature happens to throw at us we will always have a dry, workable soil, available when you need it. When using LVS Enriched Topsoil you can have peace of mind knowing that our soil is consistent in both its performance and physical properties every time you order.
