All of our topsoil is pulverized, meaning that it has been put through a machine that breaks up large chunks and makes the soil easy to spread. There are many benefits to buying pulverized topsoil, both for you and your plants.

Pulverizing topsoil makes it easy for your plants to spread their roots and find nutrients in the soil. Fine, pulverized soil also retains water better, so your garden will have easy access to water. Don’t worry about overwatering, though, because pulverized soil also drains better than regular dirt!

With our pulverized topsoil in Kansas City, you’ll enjoy a convenient, easy to spread soil that is healthier for your garden in every way.

Many people might call topsoil simply just “dirt”, but the terms actually refer to different things. Dirt is made up of sand, clay, silt, rocks, and other inorganic matter. For landscaping, dirt is primarily used to fill in volume for raised garden beds and similar applications.

Topsoil, on the other hand, is made up of mostly organic matter formed from decaying leaves, grass, and other organisms. This combination means that topsoil is packed with nutrients and minerals necessary for plant life to thrive. Our topsoil is comprised of 80% topsoil and 20% organic compost to create an even more conducive environment for plant life.

No plant grows well in true dirt. If you’re creating a garden or flower bed, you need dedicated topsoil to find success.

Topsoil is necessary for effective plant growth, but it usually won’t be the last layer of material you put down in your garden. Most beds need a covering layer to keep your topsoil cool and moist and prevent weeds from taking root.

We sell mulch as well as a selection of gravel or cobbles that work great for this top layer. There are benefits to either option, so the final choice will depend on your priorities.

Mulch is an inexpensive ground cover option for your garden. Many people enjoy the look of mulch in their garden, but over time mulch will break down and actually become more topsoil in your bed. Mulch can also flow out of your space with heavy rain or wind. Over time, you will need to replace mulch regularly for long-term garden beds.

Cobbles, on the other hand, are small rocks that are a more permanent installation in your garden. Our naturally sourced stones are resistant to erosion and immune to decay, so even though cobbles may cost more than mulch, both mulch and cobbles have a role in different projects, but some form of ground cover is necessary to protect your topsoil and promote a healthy biome.
